Probably right, crashing on purpose there carries a high safety risk.
His crash no doubt avoided another scripted delay later in the race.

Hammond does like a good crash:
- jet car incident in 2006
- Britcar 24 hour race at Silverstone
- at least two motorbike crashes last year
- numerous crashes in his Morgan's
- the F Type crash in The Perfect Road Trip 2 film.
- those two cycle crashes shown last night.

Because he was lucky, it probably wasn't worth deliberately flinging a £9k bike into the tarmac in the middle of the road just for lolz - it didn't add £9000 to the show in the way that trashing a Fiesta in the sea or some of the other deliberate stuff they've done did.

The second one might have been staged but who actually cares anyway?

First one would have been hard to stage on a TV show budget IMO he went down pretty hard in the middle of a busy street doing it that convincingly would have needed a movie scale set. (Or a stunt double with no pain perception).

2nd one looked pretty staged though, the way they pulled the camera away at moments that would have been hard to fake, etc.
 
Watched this last night, and when Hammond was talking about the Lambo... "it's got 3 gyroscopes which measure what the car is doing and direct power to the wheels... it's clever stuff" - I couldn't quite put my finger on where I've seen that before... then I walked 30 feet to my garage and put my finger on my 1997 Mitsubishi which has exactly the same technology, and only cost £33k when new :)
 
< 2 hours till the next episode of the only thing thats worth watching on BBC :eek:

The presenters embark on a road trip across Australia's Northern Territory in fast, luxurious GT cars, with Jeremy Clarkson choosing a BMW M6 Gran Coupe, Richard Hammond picking a Bentley Continental GT V8 and James May opting for a Nissan GT-R. The trio set out on an adventure that takes in crocodile-infested rivers, a race around a vast opencast mine and an encounter with one of the world's longest lorries, concluding with an unusual challenge involving a farm, their cars and 4,000 cows. Plus, 24 star Kiefer Sutherland takes to the track in the Reasonably Priced Car
