I used to work on one of the rivals to Top Gear and have been to many of the tests at airstrips and test tracks like Millbrook. For a world record attempt in a jet car (which is what i think they were doing) the H&S requirements would include a Firecrew with full extraction capabilities and also an Ambulance crew. There would also have been a detailed safety meeting and review with BBC H&S staff, Production crew and also the people providing the car, who would have extensive experience of the requirments for running it.
The only difference to Santa Pod is i think they have a medical centre, which from what i've read wouldn't have made much difference as he was taken straight away by air ambulance.
So although they're different, they're not that different.
yeah but meaty........ this is the forums..... it wouldnt be the same if someone didnt step up and "poo poo" your ideas.
i was gonna start a bit of "gallows humour" myself..........
