Guys at the top in full safety gear, the small lad in the Rover ... a lap belt

Hammond: "I don't get why I'm always the one involved in accidents"

Also Hammond:

should be an advertisement for the winch...

[kymian]

Kudos to the guy who was tasked with modifying this vehicle. Silent hero of this challenge 😂

[altlo_]

200 feet high? That's like 200 Hammonds on top of each other. Wow

[AbsoluteTrash_]

they should have hid a speaker in the rover with him and played a really loud cable snapping sound right at the top of the dam

[onceagain]

I love how they did this with zero concern for safety

[rxlan]

anybody else think he was just gonna floor it up the dam instead of being pulled by a winch 🤦🏽‍♀️

[victorymansions]

They must have had to take into consideration double the weight of the Landy because of Hammond's giant balls...

[wumpis]

Jeremy: Were you killed?
Hammond: Sadly yes... But I lived!

[LynxenX]

"lets dip the tires in water so they are soaking wet on algae covered stones before he starts"

[shubhayubasu]

Sometimes I envy them because of the amount of fun they have doing their jobs...


This is not one of those times.

[philipbyrnes]

If nothing it shows how unbelievably brave Richard Hammond is. That took guts that few people anywhere have! Well done mate, amazing courage

[magsearnshaw]

“This is ok so far” *literally only a metre off the ground*

[YouGotPropofol]

The point of failure would not be the steel cable, it would be the winch mounting being torn off the car's frame, or a failure in the anchor at the top where they fastened it to the brick dam.

Richard: drives up 80° angle on a dam

Mountain goats be like: *so you would like to admit defeat against me*

[valt]

Top Gear was the best tv show in 2000's

[penguincamp]

How does Hammond even get talked into these things?

[thenotflatearth]

I like to imagine this is a scene from a zombie movie where the protagonists are trying to escape by driving up the dam and the horde slowly piles their way up towards the rover

[JoeySplat]

Damm! You can actualy see the fear in his eyes
