@@IronFanJoe Arguably the best one was Johnny Knoxville on the first Jackass Movie. He had a Boxing Fight against a professional Heavyweight Boxer in a Department Store and was knocked out cold after two Hits. During Treatment, he then asked if the Professional survived the Fight.
this part honestly made my jaw drop, honestly. came here to find a clip of it in HD as its so hard to skip back a bit on prime video for me, honestly quite shocking to witness.
I watched it last night & thought , this has to be staged , BUT no it was bad, I am glad to see that James was okay, it was a big hit & the side of the Evo really took the brunt of the impact.
Yeah, I've seen them do a lot of stupid shit in the last decade or two, but never anything that crossed the line into suicidal. This changed today. What they did here was idiotic beyond repair, and they should be called out for it.
@@GeoStreber I agree, it could have been alot worse. I thought it was staged at first but the damage to the Evo and to James just proved they went to far.
Thats up there as one massive accident, so glad to see James May up and running, that could have been fatal, just one thing before i go, Crash Helmets!
Arguably his neck and back injury that he complained about would've been much worse with a helmet, when you start wearing a helmet, you really need a harness and HANS device.
@@Gobbbbb It wouldn't. Helmets in stock seat belts is fine. The stock 3 point seat belt is designed to allow both the torso and head to move together in a crash. I doubt HANS would even work with a 3 point seat belt.
The lack of safety equipment used on this stunt is surprising. Especially a helmet with some cervical spine support. I’m also really surprised they didn’t have a C-collar on him after the accident.
Was the safety guy of duty this week he usually goes overboard on the safety gear haha! Fair play to you Mr May slower car and did it's as fast as Clarky! 👏👏
True when I saw Jeremy's run I just thought you have no braking point reference at all you don't really know how much space you still have left how do they not misjudge it? It's probably a miricale that Jeremy didn't crash it too...
@@EAGYSLThere's a very clear and explicit braking point reference on the floor of the tunnel. They had lights indicating exactly where to brake - James just didn't see/follow the lights.
Hammond might have had the most fatal accidents, but it was May who's been injured the most in their tours. Near amnesiac concussion in Syria, broken ribs in Argentina (was it Chile?), pummeled bollocks in Myanmar, this one and etc etc.
I must say these three will go down as the best group in history. Wont forget what those two did when bbc kicked out jeremy. Thats rare specially in show business
I watched James May explain this crash in an interview on another channel and he explained that due to placement of minicams and other camera equipment, they deactivated all of the airbags on this shoot. Makes you wonder how bad his injuries could have been if he had gone straight in, but also how lucky he was that he didn't hit his head on the rock.
I'm going to bet Hammond, despite all the mishaps he's had in the past, might have been game to try it for real even after James' crash (with a little more sense obviously). But unfortunately, the crash means any insurance coverage they have will be out the window if he did it for real too.
“After James was carted off to the hospital, there was only one thing left to do.” Go to the hospital with him right? *cuts to Richard hammond about to drive through the tunnel*
Can anyone explain to me wtf happened in May's mind who suddenly wanted to become for once in his life captain speed, but unfortunately it somehow triggerred in the middle of a dark and narrow tunnel with a dead end?
I imagine watching a guy race down a tight, not continuously lit tunnel, in a sports car, is quite frustrating for an ambulance driver, especially when they bin it at the end...
People don't often think about how violent even a relatively low speed crash is. He can't have been doing more than 15 or 20 mph when he hit that wall and it nearly scrambled his brains. I saw this and literally yelped, this has to be one of the dumbest things they've ever done. No helmet, no HANS, no side air bags, side collision on driver's side....literally everything done wrong.
I bumped my truck into a stationary tree at -0 mph and was surprised at how much of a jolt it was. (In case no one is curious, I was seeing if I could gently rest the bumper on the tree, which was dead, and did not see that it had a lean towards me. It crunched the grill a little bit.)
@@buillioncubesI watched a police video where they simulate a 5mph crash to high school kids using a sliding chair on a slope. I've also been rear-ended while I was at a dead stop and the kid hydroplaned into me at 10mph. My head bounced against my headrest and was a little shell shocked until he rolled into me for a 2nd bump and my head bounced off my headrest again. My head and neck were in pain for the next 2 days despite not feeling anything from when it occurred. Car crashes are not fun under any capacity.
@@TheyCallMeMrMaybe There are crash test videos for my truck on youtube conducted at 35 mph. My truck is a 1977 toyota pickup. I don't want to find out what happens at 65+ mph. Wtf, the kid had to come back for seconds?
It was, especially for a man whos nickname is Captain Slow! Glad he's ok as it wouldn't be the same without Mr May. Please susbcribe and thanks for watching!
i feel like jeremy clarkson actually cares, james asks him if the evo is ok, and clarkson replies with, "you wont drive it out of here" meaning that he literally couldnt drive it no matter the cars condition because of his current condition so he should care about himself more right now
Should have had the whole tunnel lit and should have put drag glue down there was probably so much fine dust from mining and tires can’t brake on that they slide so really James isn’t to blame
I will say this was probably one of the dumbest things they've done thus far. Like, what were they thinking? It's a dark tunnel with a wall at the end, how else did they think it would go? I loved the special but I really don't want them to put their lives in literal danger like this.
Richard Hammond going slow as molasses after James crashed was the definition of the show must go on
Especially after the whole come situation years ago.... Hammond was like, "to help with that"
My washing machine walks around my kitchen faster than Richard
Hilarious response, had a good laugh while Clarkson was waiting
Also knowing Hammond's crash record
It was the smart thing to do
Hes going slow because they don't care about him
james first words to the boys "The car is fucked, isn't it" are pure gold, u can tell he loves cars
I bet he was thinking "Well, there's one less Evo in the world..." At least Captain Slow is okay! lol
@@IronFanJoe Arguably the best one was Johnny Knoxville on the first Jackass Movie. He had a Boxing Fight against a professional Heavyweight Boxer in a Department Store and was knocked out cold after two Hits. During Treatment, he then asked if the Professional survived the Fight.
@@Genius_at_WorkExactly what I thought about
but then the evo lived
He then asked if he was inside of a Volvo when he was in the ambulance
“Well done for not dying”
Very british of them.
This show is starting to feel like top gear again please keep making them double time !
I absolutely agree with that. Keep 'em coming Amazon!
About that ...
@@EmberTheShark I like to pretend sometimes.....
@@WadeParkinsonPhotographyAged like fine milk?
Ahhh Clarkson, not again... I suppose they're not coming on then?
These three constantly hammer at each other but you can see genuine concern and affection when something happens.
this part honestly made my jaw drop, honestly. came here to find a clip of it in HD as its so hard to skip back a bit on prime video for me, honestly quite shocking to witness.
It was really suprising, yes. Thanks for watching!

@@askannav2094 Good to see he was ok, yes. Definitely not staged!
@@askannav2094 No, it was staged.
@@akiramasashi9317why would they stage crash like that it would be dumb to stage something like that & risk serious injury all for fun
“Well, well done for not dying”.
Some great dry humor there.
"I'm in Volvo"😂
I love how his only real concern is a dejected "...I'm in the Volvo."
“You’ve arrived, on all four wheels, with your trousers still on.” God that made me choke on my drink.
Tunnel run into a dead end, winter tyres, no helmets…
What could possibly go wrong?
😬🤨😂
Oh no anyway
You forgot the lights that turn on as you go.
Yeah, I've seen them do a lot of stupid shit in the last decade or two, but never anything that crossed the line into suicidal. This changed today. What they did here was idiotic beyond repair, and they should be called out for it.
@@GeoStreber Oh come on, don't be so sensitive. It was a bit of a stunt, yes, but it wasn't that bad. Come on.
@@GeoStreber I agree, it could have been alot worse. I thought it was staged at first but the damage to the Evo and to James just proved they went to far.
Just saw the episode.
Absolutely awesome and hilarious as always with the boys..
But.....
This part was seriously shocking.
Yeah, it was an absolute suprise. It was good to see him stand on his own feet after though.
Shocking? They’re driving 100mph towards a wall with 20ft visibility. What else was supposed to happen?
The First time Captain Slow goes fast. 💀
2nd.
Dude he drives Bugatti and LaFerrari he's definitely not slow
Captain Slow should have stuck to what he knows and does best, going SLOW!
More like the 30th.
@@blasphemy4333Dude would know that’s his nickname if you actually watched the show
Thats up there as one massive accident, so glad to see James May up and running, that could have been fatal, just one thing before i go, Crash Helmets!
Absolutely! That was a bit of a no brainer I would've thought...
@@WadeParkinsonPhotography They're all gonna be no-brainers if they keep doing stunts without them
@@Qaztar44 Yep. Oh wELl iT MakEs GOoD TelLY. Well maybe they'll consider it next time. Good thing James' head was mostly ok.
Arguably his neck and back injury that he complained about would've been much worse with a helmet, when you start wearing a helmet, you really need a harness and HANS device.

I was shocked too. He could've been seriously hurt or killed.
As said before, helmet without HANS device could be worse in this situation. Because of the weight his neck would snap even more and could brake it.
@@Skafiskafnjak51 HANS is only necessary when you're in a racing harness. Stock seat belts with a helmet is fine.
@@PURENT You would want to at the very least have a proper racing neck brace while wearing a helmet for cars. Neck injuries are no joke.
I did wonder why May wasn't wearing neck brace at least
"After James was caughted off to hospital, there's only one thing we could do..." 😄
Carted*
1:50 ''It hurts on the back of my back'' - James May
James May went balls out
*Crashes into wall at high speed*
"How're you feeling?"
"A bit shit"
So British 😂
"It hurts on the back of my back!" 🤣😂😂
"There has been a disturbance in the force "😂
this had me crying, he was so determined
Hammond asking "heads not hurt ?" always breaks my heart
3:12 that yeaheah was so good idk why 😂
it hurts on the back of my back...
These guys are absolute Legends. But James and the lads should have worn a lid!
Part of the problem was studded tires, they have less grip on smooth concrete than regular summer / sport tires.
(well done for not dying) a very British thing to say.
I just noticed he still had the tires with the metal studs in them for the ice no wonder he couldn't slow down in time
Jeremy has massive balls to stand that close
"How're you feeling?"
"Bit shit." 😂
1:09 Yeah James was too quick to slow down and then bashed into the tunnel wall and that nearly knocked him out
Was the safety guy of duty this week he usually goes overboard on the safety gear haha! Fair play to you Mr May slower car and did it's as fast as Clarky! 👏👏
Well, there wasn't much someone could do in terms of James' determination. I get what you mean though.

I think you'll find Hammond has had zero fatal accidents.....
@@bobstirling6885 "how much you look like the cat in shrek 2" hammond is a cat, hes got 9 lives
May also died in Albania
I saw this the first time thinking he was on the left hand side but now realize he went straight into the wall with his head
I must say these three will go down as the best group in history. Wont forget what those two did when bbc kicked out jeremy. Thats rare specially in show business

Clarkson: "Thirtytwo... and that's KPH!"
Hammond: "A bit" xD
Hammond wisely though, he who shall be last, shall arrive not in an ambulance.
3:28 my heart melts everytime 😢
was in tear laughing at this it was certain after seeing that brick wall
one of them would smash into it
'Well done for not dying' such a British response
I'm going to bet Hammond, despite all the mishaps he's had in the past, might have been game to try it for real even after James' crash (with a little more sense obviously). But unfortunately, the crash means any insurance coverage they have will be out the window if he did it for real too.
"Ah, here comes the Ambulance, you'll be ok now"
*crunch*
The fact that this was such a disaster made it feel like old Top Gear (in the best way possible)
This is evidence that these guys don't fake their stunts. They're the real deal
i think 90% of Hammonds life is proof they do real stuff
James May wasn't happy about the "deck chair and good book" comment 😂
Fair playbto him though, he gave it some beans down that tunnel
3:59 "He stolen my thing."
"well done for not dying"
wtf am I doing with my life. I need to start watching these again.
It would have been something to see jeremy seeing james Crash while in a deck chair, holding a book.
And in the special after this one James may decides to drive a car that has a top speed of 39MPH 😂
James may in his mind:
" I'll show em, I'll show all of em what I m really made of😈........ OHHHH CRICKYYYYYY! CRASH 😂😂
“After James was carted off to the hospital, there was only one thing left to do.” Go to the hospital with him right? *cuts to Richard hammond about to drive through the tunnel*
this is the moment where james may justifies his reason to be called "captain slow"
"After James was carted off to hospital, there was only one thing we could do"
*Richard Hammond* has a go...
3:25 Wait... studded tires? No wonder.
Can anyone explain to me wtf happened in May's mind who suddenly wanted to become for once in his life captain speed, but unfortunately it somehow triggerred in the middle of a dark and narrow tunnel with a dead end?
He was in an evo, thats what happened, these things will make a grand ma think they're mikka hakkenen
Hammond was probably mortified getting that call from the front from Clarkson knowing how these accidents can be.
2:01 The cars fd ay, glad your okay though! 🤠👍
Captain Hammond, living up to his name
Must be so weird for Hammond to be outside of the Ambulance for once. Well that and concious.
"he's stolen meh thing" haha
Real sh*t like Clarkson and Hammond not joking until they knew their friend was okay is why I watch this show.
James was going 60 miles per hour on a 90° turn...
This literally gets funnier everytime you watch it
I imagine watching a guy race down a tight, not continuously lit tunnel, in a sports car, is quite frustrating for an ambulance driver, especially when they bin it at the end...
He had spiked tires and was doing brake challenge on concrete surface. What a fool 😆
Richard says: “Hold my martini”
"Well, well done for not dying..." This most sentiment Grand Tour presenters will allow themselves.
Absolutely love this show 🤣
I was cryin, also was concerned for James.
After loads of no’s and full restrictions, top gear extremely well has improved on heath and safety 😂
you can see how stressed they actually were after the crash and tey had to keep going
I think if one of those cameras in the car had it him hard on the head this could have been serious. Properly shunted that Evo. a disturbing scene.
Yep, so glad to see him moslty fine and recovering the next day. Please consider subscribing, thanks for watching!

He was certainly going far quicker than 20mph.

That dynamic lighting probably isn't a good idea, Especially when there's a dead end. That was a serious stack.
To be fair, the original designers never envisaged three middle-aged men driving at full speed through it.

In television, there's a fine line between a fun element of controlled danger and just being stupid. I'm sorry to say this challenge was the latter.

Hello I'm James and welcome to Jackass.
When hammond becomes Lt slow😂
Crash helmet would have been advisable here also in heinsight not turning and going straight maybe would have helped but who knows definitely skid lid
Should have had the whole tunnel lit and should have put drag glue down there was probably so much fine dust from mining and tires can’t brake on that they slide so really James isn’t to blame

How on earth they didn't call him Princess Diana after that accident
His wheels had studs on em isnt that only used for harsh winter conditions?
Only really useful on ice or hard packed snow, inferior on anything else. Rather fun to spin though, they shoot sparks rather than just smoke.
