Best wishes to Richard for a full and speedy recovery, and to his family at this awful time.

Looks like we all want to see the Hamster at the wheel again. [-o<  [-o<

I think it is fair to say that all our wishes are with Richard and his family at this moment,  he is a profound and entertaining presenter, who is one of the few people who successfully made Top-Gear worth watching again.  Anyone who has seen an episode of Brainiac will appreciate the warmth, humour and entheusiasm he brings to the screen...

let's hope he hurrys on back, TV is boring without him on it

Take a risk and pay the price  :cry:  Only glad he's still in there with a chance to continue being here with us. From one brummie to another, keep on in there home boy and come home soon.

Our thoughts and best wishes for a speedy recovery go to Richard and his family.

Just found this at http://www.contactmusic.com/news.nsf/article/hammond%20improving%20after%20300%20miles%20per%20hour%20crash_1008851:

HAMMOND IMPROVING AFTER 300 MILES PER HOUR CRASH    
 
LATEST: British TV presenter RICHARD HAMMOND has shown signs of improvement in hospital after crashing a jet car at nearly 300 miles (483 kilometres) per hour yesterday (20SEP06). The 36-year-old was attempting to break the British landspeed record for BBC car show TOP GEAR when the accident happened at a former Royal Air Force airfield near York, England. Sources at Leeds General Infirmary say Hammond is improving but is still seriously ill. He has been joined at his bedside by Top Gear co-presenters JEREMY CLARKSON and JAMES MAY. Clarkson said in a statement that Hammond and his family are "the most important concerns we have. "I would just like to say how heartened Richard will be when I tell him just how many motorists and truck drivers on my way here wound down their windows to say they were rooting for him."

Just seen the most recent update on Richard from the BBC and it states:

Doctors say that he has a significant brain injury but should make a good recovery.

I wish that they had said a full recovery    

Come on Richard, prove them wrong!

This dreadful accident illustrates too graphically that cars are not toys, and shows the dangers of speed. My thoughts are with Richard and his family. But perhaps it is now time to consider why a public service broadcaster, funded by compulsory taxation, is making programmes glorifying activities that we should be trying to discourage in these environmentally and safety-conscious days.

How could some **** use this kind of incident to make a political statement.

The BBC make programs like topgear because the majority of people enjoy it.

rant over but this kind of moron really gets my back up.

From what I can tell he was suffering from a blood clot on the brain which is the "significant brain injury" they were refering to,  this was causing pressure on the brain which was potentially life threatening,  they relieved the pressure and he's making a "good" recovery (according to the news)

What this actually entails is anyones guess, the brain is remarkably resiliant to damage, and can recover from a hell of a lot (if it was designed, then nice work that man)

Think of a wood borer bit and a black and deckker. And no, I'm not kidding :)

People have taken a lot worse injuries including loss of a significant volume of it, and still been able to carry on business as usual.

There are people living out there with only half a brain, having had one side removed they have learned to use just the one side to control both sides of the body (left side of the brain controls movement on the right side of the body and vice versa).  Their language and memory was mostly unaffected too, amazing design.  Here is one example http://www.findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m1590/is_1998_Nov_16/ai_53349823
