About this product

Product Information

For the first time, Richard describes his childhood and adolescence and the emergence of the adrenalin junkie, the first ridiculous stunts on his tricycle and an increasing and near obsessive attraction to speed and the smell of petrol. For such a lively and intelligent communicator, TV beckons and he becomes one of the dare-devil trio, with Jeremy Clarkson and James May, who make such an enormous worldwide success of the revamped BBC TV programme Top Gear. He describes the personalities, the comraderie and the stunts with which they entertain their weekly audiences until the day of his 300mph crash that took Top Gear off the air and plunged a nation into mourning. The day of the crash, his rescue and his flight to the hospital in a coma are described and his wife Mindy recounts the anxious waiting until he finally emerges from his coma - to immediately pull out all his life support equipment - and Richard then pieces together the stages of recovery as his shattered mind slowly reforms. We learn exactly what happened to him and the milestones in his slow recovery to full health.

  • Very Highly Recommended! An Excellent Read!

    I bought this book as I had picked it up in my local car wash and started reading it just for something to do whilst I waited for my car. Well, just from that short time reading the first few pages, I was hooked! I just HAD to buy it! I had a road accident myself last year and ended up with a brain injury, so found it absolutely fascinating to hear someone else's story. I found it even more interesting to hear how Richard's wife Mindy felt about it. Although I wanted to get to the end when Richard was back home and getting back to normal, I didn't want it to end. I am a fan of Top Gear, but to hear Richard's point of view as just a normal bloke was very moving. I recommend this book to anyone who has suffered a similar injury. A thoroughly enjoyable read!

  • On the Edge: by RICHARD HAMMOND

    A HUMBLE AND FRANK ACCOUNT BY RICHARD AND HIS WIFE MINDY FOLLOWING RICHARDS NEAR DEATH ACCIDENT. THERE ARE 2 STORIES IN ONE, RICHARDS ACCOUNT AND HIS WIFES. A PERSONAL TIME, DEEP FEELINGS, AND ABOVE ALL A VERY LOVING COUPLE AND FAMILY. IT STRIPS AWAY ALL THE TV GLAMOUR TO REVEAL A FAMILY THAT HAS SURVIVED SOMETHING THAT NO AMOUNT OF MONEY COULD ALTER. ITS TRULY A BOOK YOU WILL FIND DIFFICULT TO PUT DOWN, YOU WILL BE DRAWN INTO THE PRIVATE THOUGHTS AND THE PRIVATE WORLD OF RICHARD AND THE WONDERFUL MINDY. I HAVE NEVER REVIEWED ANYTHING ON EBAY BEFORE BUT FELT THIS BOOK CERTAINLY DESERVED IT.

  • On the Edge: My Story by Richard Hammond

    Interesting insight into the goings on behind the scenes of Top Gear and the amazing build up and post accident recovery story. Also full of humour and classic hampsterisms. A great read.
