Hope he is alright. They do some crazy stuff. Sounds like he was on there test track with a jet car. Not sure that's enough room to play with one of those.

At least he didn't get his balls torn off; scratch, scratch!!!

Poor Hamster. Hope he's going to be okay. Gotta love that show. But what crazy person decided to give HIM a jet car?

The best part of the show is how all three guys play off one another so well. Does anyone remember the Italian Supercar challenge they were given? When it came to Mr. May's "Captain Slow" turn to park his Lambo Hammond and Clarkson pushed the two cars that he was supposed to park between closer together without his knowing it. I howled because this is exactly what my friends and I would do to each other. I hope he makes a full recovery and is back on the show soon because it wouldn't be the same if even one of them goes missing.

Man I hope he's ok. Those guys do a great job of bringing worthwhile entertainment to the common man.

This sounds a little better saying he was speaking when they pulled him from the car after going about 280 MPH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm in the UK now, and this morning's news is that he's in critical but stable condition.

He was at Elvington airfield in the North of England - the runway was extended to deal with B52s in an emergency during the Cold War so it's loooooong.

I hope he pulls through OK.
