He took the risk only thinking of glory and not his young family seems pretty selfish to me!!

Please...such questions are apparently not allowed - put in a question not too disimilar to yours a few days ago and was whupped by the sort of dears who slow down on motorways to gawp at the coach/car/lorry on it's side in the other lane - mentioned the pain Mrs. Hammond must be going through - but that part of my question was not even touched upon.
Princess Diana (bless her) has a lot to answer for, from whatever Royal estate she inhabits up above...

He is a good investigative reporter when not on Top Gear.
The producers put him in a position he was not trained for.
They could have sponsored/followed the British Bluebird team, http://www.speedace.info/bluebird_electric_3.htm
who have a car and professional team capable of 350-400mph;
but choose instead to go for a silly stunt.
And the Bluebird is electric, really important story I would think; but Top gear seem incapable of understanding that if it doesn't pollute it can still outperform all their fossil fuel sterotypes.
They also have not reported on the Tesla sportscar, made by Lotus http://www.teslamotors.com/index.php?js_enabled=1

When a person is well like Mr Hammond and a major personality this leaves an impression on people and they express there feelings in a natural way.

Yes it was his job, but it can hardly be compared to the defence or police force. If my job required me to drive 300mph for no reason other than filming it I would leave the job especially if I had a young family. I don't want to wish the man unwell, I'm glad he survived and I hope he recovers. I also hope he gives up this stupid job. I also hope the BBC have learnt their lesson and stop wasting british tax payers money, and endangering their staff's lives by filming stupid stunts like this. Seriously why does anyone need to know if you can sail a car...?

I suppose it's because he is a very well liked presenter who is in the business of entertainment. OK you say he wasn't thinking of his family, maybe so, but not everyone thinks of their family before driving any car, remembering each car is potentially dangerous in the first instance. Richard was pushing the boundaries of the show Top Gear. This program would hardly progress if the presenters were going over old ground.

Richard Hammond is a really nice guy and what kind of person would you be if you didn't care that a good guy gets hurt like that?
If he was rotton to the core then fair enough...

Richard Hammond crashed at nearly 300mph, you don't wish that to happen to anyone even if there your worst enemy, and he now has serious brain damage that could effect his life forever. That is why everyone is taking pity on him.

Because he has been injured.
He could be a Joe Bloggs injured and I would still feel sorry for him/her.
Same with the poor child that has been killed by the two guard dogs. I do not know the child or the family, but that does not stop me for feeling for them.

It was his job and his interest. I don't think you can fault anybody just because they have the opportunity to live out their dreams. He seems a genuine, nice guy and personally I wish him a speedy recovery and send my best wishes to his family.
You, on the other hand, simply sound like a very bitter individual.
