    Hammond was immediately air-lifted (onboard an Agusta-Westland AW109 HB-ZRZ) to the St. Gallen hospital, where doctors assessed that he had fractured his knee and required a brace. Hammond remained in hospital for six days, before leaving on the 16th of June, 2017 on a jet bound for his home in the U.K. Hammond was able to drive again on the 12th of August, 2017, a little over two months after his accident.
    Organisers of the hill-climb event in Switzerland were fined five-thousand dollars and the event's director and three stewards were suspended for six months for being in violation of international FIA rules and regulations.

    It was actually revealed that Jeremy, James, and Richard made a pact that should one of them die while filming the show, the other two would open the next episode of the show announcing the death, and after a minute of silence, continued with a comical "anyway.." and soldier on with the show's segment as if nothing had happened. I think it brilliantly shows their bond as a team, as they've mentioned that the reason the rest of the team always left the one that broke down during their trips behind was because they believe so long as the others carry on, the team carries on, and in that way, everybody no matter what, gets to finish their adventure together.

    I've crashed on my track bike, at the track, doing 115mph in a high side.
    Hammond went off down a hill past a house... Holy Shit Mate! Glad you're alright.
    This means that Capt. Slow won the race, as he was the only one to finish it himself.
