It was actually revealed that Jeremy, James, and Richard made a pact that should one of them die while filming the show, the other two would open the next episode of the show announcing the death, and after a minute of silence, continued with a comical "anyway.." and soldier on with the show's segment as if nothing had happened. I think it brilliantly shows their bond as a team, as they've mentioned that the reason the rest of the team always left the one that broke down during their trips behind was because they believe so long as the others carry on, the team carries on, and in that way, everybody no matter what, gets to finish their adventure together.

I’m glad he’s alive, and that he called his wife straight away.

After watching this several times & drawing as much detail as I could from it… it is WELL worth mentioning. Rimac, as a manufacturer & as a man - has my sincere respect. Most any manufacturer I could name, I would FULLY expect to throw a blanket over this and publicly reveal ONLY what a court or some other ‘authority’ would make them reveal. Rimac not only did not do that, they’ve allowed this which seems to be an honest and open discussion of the car’s strengths & the car’s possible weaknesses. It might or might not be the ‘smart’ thing from a business standpoint. I think it IS smart. And I must admit, if I were in the market for an all-electric super car… it would be a Rimac or nothing. I cannot find adequate words to describe how much I appreciate everyone creating this, filming it, and allowing us all to see it. There is a WEALTH of detailed information available here, and it rightfully should increase interest not simply for Hamster but for the Rimac brand as well.

“We are improving our car and the batteries so they don’t... do that.” What? Catch on fire after rolling 100+ meters? Mate, you’d be forgiven if it took 100 meters for your car to explode. Some cars explode before you leave the driveway, mate.

That was one well built car. Rolled for 100m after crashing at 300mph, and he came out of it alive. Many cars fall apart if you reverse into a wall while parking. It was a brilliant machine. The crash was a mistake, a bad one but I'm glad that Richard is still with us

It did point out á serious issue with the battery technology, despite the relative safety though. And its something we've known for a while now, lithium batteries self ignite when punctured, burn long and hot, and can not be put out until they've run out of fuel (because they re-ignite after a moment). The car was remarkably stucturally sound, but has its own set of problems due to its method of energy storage.

Hundreds? He didn't crash and dropped hundreds of meters. He dropped around 30 meters

A masterclass of turning a negative into a positive. The show was able to show the car in all its glory and then the crash was the cherry on top when they were able to show how safe the car was simply by the fact that Hammond is still walking and talking.

Mate is very well-spoken and clearly highly intelligent. And Hammond’s funny personality is the reason I watch his car shows.

So, does this mean he's not coming on then? No, James - he wrecked a multi million pound hypercar and broke both his legs.

Mate is the name of the guy, it's not pronounced as Meyt it's not same as a mate, it's pronounced as Mathe and Rimac is his surname, Rimac is not pronounced as Rimak but Rimats, so Mathe Rimats. I come from Croatia so I am correcting you guys. Also, while I'm here. I'm pretty sure many of you know the Niko Belic from GTA IV, this time for him, it's not Niko Belik it's Niko Belich because surname Belic is originally written Belić and letter ć is pronounced like " ch " so Niko Belich, all southeastern European surnames ends on ć every single surname. Modrić, Subašić, Nikolić, Ramić, Dolić, Krajinić, Zorić, Vidić and thousands of others, between them Belić, so it's not Belik it's Belich and it's not Rimak, it's Rimats.

'What was your biggest fear in that moment?' 'Waking up with with Clarkson and maybe May standing over me calling me a tosser.'

considering the nature of the crash, it's evident that rimac builds a very solid chassis and shell, because the cabin maintained its integrity even after a big drop and going over several times. the fire was to be expected, when you mangle a bunch of high voltage wires it's just going to happen. i do clearly believe that what happened was a mixture of richard reflexively trying to drive the car as if it were NOT super intelligent, and the car taking that reflex as command and sort of over-doing it. all around, however, incredible car, and we're all happy that the Hampster is still with us for more seasons of inane babble and fun road trips.

He’s alive to talk about it and continue on with his passion which is more important than anything else.

I guarantee you if you took 100 people, put them in a crash that involved rolling 300 feet, not everyone would make it out of that jeep. By design the jeep rolls over much easier and it's not known as having the best crash tests so I don't know why you keep bringing it up. If you'd like to compare, the electric Model X got the highest crash test results of any SUV so again your Jeep example may have been pure luck.
