Found this today about Richard Hammond. Looks like its getting close to the 6 month recovery time. So he should be back on his feet soon.

here is a link to what happend. Readers Digest version - Crashed a Jet Dragster in an atempt to break a speed reccord. Crashed at close to 300mph.

He's been back on his feet for quite some time. Hell, he just finished a six week stint of filming top gear (as I'm sure you're aware). Everything about his recovery has been remarkable and speedy.

Agreed, but do you think a pro could have held that dragster with a blown tire?

A blown tire at 280? You're going down no matter what.

No, but then again look at how scared he was on the first two runs.

He should have never been any where near that thing.

Have you ever seen the look on someone before their first skydive? Its exactly the same.

Why do you think he was not competent to drive that car ?
