If he had a sixth sense wouldnt you have thought he'd not get into the dangerous 300mph rocketcar of death?

Jezza would have made some comment about a scolded cock and wandered of to chain smoke 40 fags after crashing.

According to BBC, he'd just hit 280mph, when a CTR cruised by, then hit VTEC, the resulting shockwave knocking the jetcar off track and into a barrel roll. Chuck Norris was seen strolling away from the scene after kicking the Stig in the groin.

at that kinda speed, it could be anything, front becoming airbourne, tire blowout, debris on the runway etc..
i hope he pulls through this, top gear wouldnt be the same without him

It's like a dragster, I' have thought he's got a fairly good chance due to the rollcage etc, best of luck to him anyway

How weird would it be if the video of the event had the Stig driving, when Hammond has been airlifted?? Could it be that they are one and the same?

the Stig is not Hammond 
the Stig is several racing drivers. Hammond is not.

I was just thinking it's more the sort of thing that they'd wheel out The Stig to do...
