Climbing A Dam In A Land Rover | Top Gear | Series 22 | BBC 

They put him in a fucking rocket I think they lost all cares about Hammond a long time ago

the small lad is very good ! probably hsojkll

I'm pretty sure they came to the conclusion that, if things go wrong, no amount of wearable safety gear would help him. So they might as well ditch it.

Same were i WORK 🔨

I just laughed so hard at this 😂😂 thanks

Look at the background on hammonds,it doesn't change since even when he's half way on the dam.

@@bastardxin3749 it does change dude look even for the cameras next to Hammond's seat

@burteriksson 😘

@@bastardxin3749 blind

yes. all of them. i wonder how they tested it

@@clockwork9827 they tested it by putting hammond in it, and winching him up the dam

Yes... don't ask.

I thought he'd at least attempt to move the rover under self-power before it was too vertical to move without the winch.

That probably would have worked

Isaac Newton : am i a joke ?

Are you guys stupid ? I mean.. really ? You really thought he would do that with only the engine ? Do you even know what gravity, friction, etc, are ? Like.. really? I mean.. REALLY ? You thought that ? I am repeating myself but god damn, how in the world would you think even for a second that it would be only with the engine...

So very true.

Must've been a WARN Winch.

Not really I think

+Miguel pmpm come on now

actually it would be 35.7 Hammonds on top of each other

ha

Im still amazed the top gear/grand tour trio didn't end like a decade ago because someone died making a episode.

@@Brian-qg2qw I swear, it's almost like Hammond has real life plot armor

I would sweating bullets doing this

No

​@@lew3813Why not?

Ok

Sounds like a Clarkson move

+jamiepie123 LOL

imagine that rofl

+jamiepie123 where do you get that idea from ? ... like satan added you snapchat ?

Should have blasted genesis

How do you mean?

Once Again Agree If the winch fails, he is dead. There supposed o be a safety tether line attached o the vehicle.

@@krisztian3909 You don't have a safety tether line if you go Climbing, because the line can take much more weight than you are. In Theatre a piece of set that moves up/down doesn't have a safety line (as well as the hauling line) because they hauling line can take more then the weight of the set. Everything the BBC are using for this is rated to take more weight than it needs to (probably >twice the weight) And therefore is within the safety of the insurers

They have, they just dont show it

It's top gear, sometimes the presenters do something seemingly dangerous but it really is under control.

Good one,

Zombies would push the Rover up? (Hopefully the rear isn't open)

film him going down and play it in reverse Big brain time XD

Is that a reference I see? lol

@@thatonec_set3730 It is a reference to Hammond's giant balls

@@thatonec_set3730 It's a reference to Hammon's cojones

Hammond does that a lot

So I guess he won't be coming in then?

He lives, he dies, he lives again!

@@JamaicanCastle What a lovely day!

Winches have their faults.. like that winch could have easily ripped out from his car.. with the weight of it being pulled.. I've seen it on one of the other Top Gear Episodes where they attempt to winch another car out and it broke.. I would have passed that challenge and said no too dangerous.. and bit foolish as well.. the winch at the top yes they had crew.. but again whatever was keeping it up was under strain/tension too. worried about chord breaking.. on top of the winch detaching itself from the car.. it's not as simple as just winching a chord to a car.. there's always things, unknown things that can go wrong.. e.g. both engines cutting out..

There’s no way you could do that normally and live 😂

Cause it matters when the vehicle wasn’t even on the winch was doing the pulling it’s not like the tires helped you half wit

yeah, the tyres really don't matter for this, could have used smooth rubber coated in oil and it would have worked just fine.

are u guys blind? lel. he isnt in the car when its pulled up.. just look at the background when he is talking. there is always the same stairs from the same distance. if he would have been in the car while going up the background would change

@@HarryLenz You mean shots like the one at 6:14?

@@Aerroon yes that shot is from higher but its from the back of the car without hammond in the picture. so i still dont know what u are talking about. just look at all the shots where the camera films him and u see the background. always the same distance..

@@HarryLenz he actually did this what are you on about you can cery clearly see at 6:13 hes nearly at the top with him in view, are you just really stupid?

Yet how was he treated at the end.

😂😂😂😂🤣

Lmao it's the bbc what do you expect😂

Mags Earnshaw that’s what “so far” means idiot

@@obamareloadsyt629 I think they were implying that the phrase is something you would usually say a bit further up

Oh yeah

For what?

@@HarryLenz Stairs for giants.

HarryLenz You’re the blind one lmao 6:40 6:57 haters always gonna say everythings scripted 😂

I bet he'd pass out from fear near the top of the dam

Spiders on a 180⁰ angle:

Ya thats lil guys can go almost anywere they like the dams because certain rocks or bricks have salt in them I think. Thats why the run up there to get a lick of salt lol

@@lolbosss *90

I would pay to see him do this, while mountain goats casually hop past him.

the goats: look at what they most do to mommy's a fraction of our power

By far dude!!!!!

Yes, but he has faced his fear. I think, Hammond really got balls

DAM IT

+Take1 Films Well hamsters do have hairy balls ;)

+Take1 Films Because of how over used that is

saheyo champney Well if you watched the show you would know that it does ;)

It's based on an advert/commercial Land Rover did with a 90. However in the advert the winch was on top of the dam. So as a farewell to Land Rover they replicated it with a series 1 Land Rover but with the winch actually on the vehicle.

It's the spirit of the challenge that mattered.

MrSpookylukey Lol was the advert for the wench or the land rover? How does towing a car that is meant to 'go anywhere' show its good points?

All The commercial did was show what the car cannot do.

+Kris S for starters it's winching not towing. Winching is a means of self recovery towing is another vehicle moving your vehicle. I'm assuming you are unfamiliar with the concept of off-roading? Yes you can do this with any true 4wd not an SUV, but any 4x4 with a decent approach angle and departure angle will do it. However no Audi or BMW or normal car will do it. For starters a winch cannot be fitted to either of those vehicles, those cars will rip themselves to bits by over exceeding the approach and departure angles. And lastly and I cannot stress this enough it was an advert. Do you complain every time you see a Saab and it doesn't turn into a jet fighter? It was a send off for Land Rover because Land Rover made the advert.

🤣

😂 his heart would follow it 😂

Doesn't matter

yea same lool

same

WOW! BBC and TOP Gear (or their insurance company) are very brave letting Hammond be winched up that dam. Mythbusters' insurance would never let them risk Jaime or Adam on a stunt like that.

Charlie Extra Adam Savage

I live in the nearby town of Rhayader, so I know just how steep those dams are. Very very brave guy, I would never do that.

+A Beaver Was really better before... I dont really understand why did they want to do that !!

+WoD STALKER do what? The climbing of dam?if it's that,maybe for entertainment

Miguel pmpm They killed Top Gear...

+A Beaver Is it a God damn?

+A Beaver no, well dam

Yeah and the others did

Because a helmet would help tumbling down a 62 metre, vertical, rough surface in a 64 year old aluminium car with no roll cage

get science'd son

A helmet wouldn't of helped him survive a fall like that... He should of been wearing a High Visibility Jacket.

Tony O'Neill Yeah okay that's true I guess

kevinslm the winch is part of the car so the car was pulling itself to the top of the dam. Climbing means “pulling owns body to a higher places”. Better star reading before posting dumbass comment

@@donosudono1597 I literally lost brain cells reading your comment. Kevinslm is completely correct.

@@donosudono1597 Go check your tumor its gotten worse, dono.

I mean, if the engine was still on I guess but it’s doesn’t really count if the winch is pulling because that doesn’t rlly count

@@donosudono1597 Exactly

At first I was disappointed they didn't drive up the dam, but after re-reading the title, they didn't actually say they would be.

''it was about using the vehicle's built in winch to climb'' but they didn't do that either, they used some hydraulic setup from Rotec, a company that didn't even exist when they made that car.

Jakob Holland, no it wasn’t. That’s not a factory winch and, it didn’t even run under the load of the engine. It ran under a secondary engine in the rear that tilted with angle of the incline. That’s just stupid.

The built in winch wasnt able to pull this off.It was too short on cable.It too was modified.They needed a bigger one to have enough cable to get him to the top. He even says it in the beginning.

Thanks for clearing that up Sherlock.

Henris Ivaskevicius I mean the whole thing, like no cuts, just the whole ride up.

Hey gmod chaser

+mindlessgonzo Its on Netflix - you can hear Hammond say the F word like 3 times

it's a damn shame that its discontinued:/

A year ago

Neither a jeep nor a hummer can drive up a dam lol

@@Bluefire397 and a goat certainly can't drive either lol

Don't think a helmet is gonna do anything if that cables snaps half way up a dam

@@loadingprogress5751 Yeah, best it'd do is keep Hammond's brains mostly in one place

He has to go side to side a little to keep the wire feeding evenly onto the drum 🙂

Lol. do this with the osiris in 2 seconds 😂

Adrian Gonzalez same

bloodshaker12 lol

Adrian Gonzalez that's because its a game go try that shit in real life I dare you 😈

It's just a game when they crash and fall they come back to life and tpif that shit happen in real he wouldn't come back to life 😂

god bless you

You know what you're right. In fact they should remove every single video with these three in it from the Internet. That way they're not making any ad revenue off of the the guy who assaulted a coworker...

+pbfloyd13 Clarkson was entertaining; he was never meant to be a baseline for morality.

Or JC bit ok

It’s not *damn* it’s *dam*

Austin cartel it is damn

THE ATOMIC SCOTSMAN He means it’s “Damn dam”

Hideri Kanzaki ok your right thx for telling me

To be fair, no amount of safety gear would have stopped Hammond from tumbling down the dam in the event that the cable snapped. The only thing a helmet would really do is keep his brains in one place

+brendan sullivan me too

That was disappointing

too me

Is that even possible?

that's what she sed

+No Name You spelt dam wrong, good meme tho.

Vadim Viehoff Says the guy with an alienware logo as his profile pic.

jbmp1390​ yes im sure of all that, but it was funny producers standing on the dam wearing helmets, but hammond not. Maybe it was scripted after all

***** oh I believe you

Exactly, and if the wire snaps, it could take several heads with it...

Hahaha savage... ...but true xP jk

Yashar MJ I don't think a helmet would've helpen much

And risk his life for nothing

It's about the advert he kept referencing, I assume they drove a Landrover up a dam in that and so Top Gear did the same.

+3XX0N Watch the episode before you post something like that +Sparx632 the advert showed a rover pulling itself up a dam with its own winch, yet in reality they pulled it up with a winch attached to the dam out of shot of the camera. Here hamster's doing what they didn't, pulling himself up on his own winch

Thanks for typing what i wanted to say ;-) They could have attached a seat and that winch to a concrete block and achieved the same thing.

+iain rickwood It's still an arbitrary and pointless exercise in Dramatical TeeVee production. :/

balls

wow

The big deal is the "Theoretically" part.

+UnboxTheWorld ASMR Same

+UnboxTheWorld ASMR did you.. did you just comment on your own comment?

+UnboxTheWorld ASMR Lyfe

no amount of helmet will save him so why bother?

Pretty sure this was faked, if you look at the shots when hes in the car it doest even look like it was 10M of the ground.

But 6:40 looks so real

Yeah, cuz a helmet sure is gonna help you from cracking your head against the buttom of a dam after a fall

I know people are on about how oh but he did it with a winch but still it's a very brave thing to do 😂

They're making a show for Amazon you big drama queen.

pbfloyd13 no shit, I meant on Top Gear...DAMN!

Acc0rd79 We're getting Chis Harris, Sabin Schmidt, & Chis Evans, screw those guys.

+pbfloyd13 You'll grow to like them. Would you believe me if I told you that people initially disliked Jeremy and Richard when they shifted to the new format back in 2002?

Pope-Eye I meant screw Clarkson Hammond & May. If I wanted to watch three middle aged idiots screw around I'd watch the three stooges.

It would be easier on the winch cause it is so much lighter. Also, a fuel injected engine would run at that angle. So my daily driver stock 01 civic I bought for $600 is perfect. Add that same winch with some structural bracing and I am ready to go. Also I would hook the winch where I could go over the top. Still good entertainment

+Evan Moon actually it depends on where the fuel pump picks up the fuel and where the oil pickup is. If you don't get fuel the engine dies if you don't get oil the engine seizes

VTECH POWER!

+Evan Moon you paid $600 for a 01 civic

agree ... does the winch come with the land rover or not ????
