Gripping account by Richard Hammond of life before and after his terrifying high-speed car crash - abridged for young adults.
From Top Gear to Brainiac, Richard Hammond is one of our most popular television presenters. But in September 2006, a high speed crash whilst filming for Top Gear left him fighting for his life. ON THE EDGE is his compelling account of life before and after the accident and an honest description of his recovery, full of drama and incident. An adrenalin junkie long before his association with Top Gear, Richard tells the story of his life, from the small boy showing off with ridiculous stunts on his bicycle to the adolescent with a near-obsessive attraction to speed and the smell of petrol. It was whilst filming for Top Gear that Richard was involved in a terrifying accident, when he was driving a jet-powered dragster. His wife Mindy tells the story of the anxious hours and days of watching and waiting until he finally emerged from his coma. She and Richard then piece together the stages of his recovery, and his triumphant return to Top Gear.
