The actual burst reminded me of crashes in F1 that have been caused by tyre bursts.

Matt and his mini wrote:the crash was abit tame but they could hardly do a retake.
as for who ever said to put the breaks on, could you do it in 0.4 seconds, and even if you did the paracute wouldnt deploy in time to do anything. he was, however, quick enough to stop the engine.
glad to have him back


But according to the linked article, he DID put the brakes on when it happened, that was the whole point...

I've crashed my car 4 times before in similar circumstances and never received the same sympathy or publicity. Strangly enough most Insurance Companies don't like me either!

"Headway said it had been inundated with complaints"
"The charity said it had received 50 complaints via the telephone helpline and through email from members and has now announced it will be making a complaint about the programme. "

Maybe it's just me, but I'd hardly call a grand total of 50 emails and/or calls 'inundated'. The only possibility that comes to mind is maybe they left out a 0 or two.

Some people should have had their life supports turned off while it was still an option.

"Are you mental" "I've got a tissue incase you start dribbling" - They were insulted by these but I'm afraid after having read the online article I'm pretty sure its a classic case of a busybodying charity worker speaking FOR whoever was meant to be offended. What next? Brainism? Or Brainiac Damage? Clarkson and May BULLIED the brain damaged ones, right through the camera, just like that, even though they didnt know them!

Well, I cried. And I don't even know the guy, or had watched Top Gear before that
But to go through that, and come out the other side means something
Like - great ratings for Top Gear (cynical side in me)
or - it wasn't his time - and good for him, little Hamster - glad for his family he's here to tell the story

you think he did it on purpose for ratings?

I wonder if Aled would do something similar to boost Moyles's rating?

no - of course I don't think he did it on purpose for ratings :) silly Gaspode .....
but it did no end for the ratings of course - and I'm glad! cos I fancy James May like mad - hee hee

Aled would do anything for ratings (but crash a car at 300 mph - erm, not sure - but then maybe ............_

Aled, u taking note?
