Richard nails it, if people are having memory issues and their happy that's wonderful. The last times I spoke to my 96 year old Grandfather, he thought I was an old friend (1920's old) and was talking about how much fun we had and that we need to get together again. He was so happy, I went along with it and we some laughs.

My grandma is still alive with dementia she was the last person that she forgot. We had a incredible bond I’m her grandson and over great financial costs to myself I took care of her. She helped raise me when my parents weren’t good people. They got help got off the drugs and go therapy. I love them very much even tho my childhood was bad i feel people deserve a second chance and for 15 plus years they have been my rock. I hate the disease 🦠 that has took my grandmas mind. She sometimes remembers who I am, but thinks I’m a teenager I’m 35 now. Anyway sorry for the long comments Doc said I was borderline high functioning autistic . I love my grandma and it hurts me so much that this has happened to her

I never imagined Hammond to be so philosophical. But I suppose a handful of near death experiences will do that to you. Great interview!

It seems Hammond has a hidden intelligence that he does not reveal to us in the shows he’s part of. What a joy this was to listen to.

Dude going deeper than I expected him to. Despite all the things science has come to understand, the human conscience remains an enigma.

I died, my heart stopped after a dramatic loss of blood. I was lucky to have my Mother there, all I remember is asking her “am I going to die now”, then all I saw was dark but absolute peace, no pain or fear about it….obviously they revived me but that is the most poignant memory I think I will ever have. Truly a life changing thing.

I died in surgery for a strangulated colon. They bought me back it was so weird seeing myself float above my own body.

As a fan of top gear and as someone who never met Richard, when the Rimac crash happened I was not well for many weeks. These 3 mean so much to me and my childhood

Having a near-death experience will bring a total shift in perspective that there's no coming back from. In the split second before you think it's over, you realise just what's really important and what you've wasted your time with.

I once fell while skiing in the Alps, and I knew instantly that I would go off a cliff any second and fall to my death, no matter what I would try. It was the most serene feeling I ever had. I eventually saw faces with moving lips and realized that I must have not fallen off the cliff. It took some time for my hearing to return and me being able to move again.

I'm really glad Mindy got angry and really shouted at him, I don't think he would've survived if she had not done so. I really think that coma dream was Richard making his departure from this world, but Mindy shouting at him made him turn round and decide to stay here.

Just what I thought mate, only seen this for the first time just now, I think your spot on

5:20 - 100% agree with this. I cared for my father after he had a stroke, and then several more. His memory wasn't ever the same again and it's something that I had to adapt to more as his carer than he did- his memory long term was still sharp as a tack. Short term memory was full of holes and he needed constant reminders about things. Normally he was perfectly happy. Some few times realisation crept in and that was hard for us both. He would get very distressed as he 'knew' at that point that he wasn't quite 'right'. Those times where worse than when he just went about his day not realsiing that his memory was gone. Bless him. Glad the Hampster managed to more or less recover from this.

Interesting how significant trees are. When my parents weren't well and I was staying with them I dreamt I walked through their village, out the other side, up a gentle hill that wasn't an effort, turned round and sat with my back to a tree until I woke up. I was very comforted by the dream.

3:02 Fear appears when there's time to think what could go wrong, before the situation happens. The moment you realize that your life is about to end and that there is no going back, there is acceptance. I had a very near death experience and I remember lying on the floor just waiting to die. At that moment in the floor, feeling my blood gushing out my body, the world had stopped. I swear to God that I was in such peace of mind.

Did you get stabbed/shot or something?

That was so moving and eye opening.

What he says about shouting at the person is very interesting. I remember when my dad was dying and and had fallen into a coma (he was terminally ill), I could see he was fighting to stay alive even though he wasnt conscious. I stroked his head and told him it was ok and everything was taken care of and that he should just let go and he calmed and passed away soon afterwards. I didnt want him worrying about us, and to know we were all taken care of would have been extremely comforting to him. The reason im saying this is that people in comas can still be communicated with and to some degree understand what is going on. Very interesting indeed.

I love hearing Richard speak about this. Thanks for this DOCEO. I almost sense conflict in Richard. I wonder, illogical as it is to those who have never experienced near-death experiences, did Richard leave part of himself at that tree? How can life ever hold the same adventure after you have experienced the peace of the after-life?

Only second clip I've seen, both from this one interview, but powerful enough to subscribe just to find out what else there is.. Thanks for this.. And thank Richard.

I got the chills listening to this. Great interview!

The bigger the channel, the bigger the guests ? I don't think it gets any bigger than Hammond 💙

100% agree with the description of the acceptance of death. I had an aviation near collision (Airprox) that I reported as 50ft horizontal and 20ft vertical. As it happened I went from surprise, to shock, to fear, to total resignation of impending death. But, it didn’t happen and once I knew then a massive rush of adrenaline leaving the system. Very strange to observe, almost as an outsider, the whole physiological process.

Has anyone else had an ** Im going to die now moment ** . The sruggle and fear just leaves its very curious. I cant explain it either.

So glad the Hamster survived💗 best Guardian Angel moment💗

3:15 is exactly how I felt when I almost died. No fear, just a realization. “Ohh, so this is how I die.” So strange - it should be a terrifying moment, but when it happens, you’re totally ok with it.

You have som sort of guardian angel Richard honestly

great interview!

Richard can be pretty deep it feels

Well damn Hammond, opened my eyes. Doesn't matter what memories go, if they are happy then good. Wish I knew all this when my grandmother went though Alzheimer's.

Never mind chasing bigger guests, just break down who you can get and it will worth the watch. Stay you bro honestly, it's not the guests it's YOU!

Richard Hammond in Diary of a CEO - this is insane!!

I had a near death experience last year. It's not scary at all when you face your end, you just melt into it and you're more alive than ever. I urge anyone who hasn't to research near death experiences because every single time people give more or less the same accounts. Living is scarier than dying

I haven’t watched it yet. What was in the photo that was abruptly tossed at him for the sole purpose of getting him to cry at the end?

Gr8 insight

Having gone through similar trauma, I can totally relate to Richard’s experience of walking towards the tree.

always like mr Richard dat wasn't your destiny sir 🙏🙏

Here's what gets me about the crash.... The North Pole expedition was done only SEVEN.MONTHS after the crash! How the hell did the doctors clear Hammond on doing that trip???!?!?!!

Legend Legend Legend Legend

Where’s his question at the end?

It's ironic that you'd assume the grass and mud he rolled on would be softer and more forgiving, but that's what dug in and hit his head, but if he rolled on the tarmac, he wouldn't of had the head injury!

Dicky Hammond. Top man

Jeremy even mentioned that if this crash didn't happen top gear would never have been that big. Even on the grand tour.

I feel like if you crash at over 300mph, you can talk about it all you want. Nobody is gonna give you flak for telling you the story a few times 😂

The sterile design of the set makes me uncomfortable.

That really annoyed me when he asked 'why did she do that'

320mph, to fast for fear 😰

What an incredible story.

He has a weird habit of always turning his head away to the right not facing. A few times he just looks up.
