Default The "real" reason behind Richard's crash ?

I have no idea but I've found a movie on Youtube that could show the real reason behind Richard's almost fatal crash (of which god-bless, he fully recovered)
The missing details BBC didn't show of the almost fatal crash. What was the "real" reason of Richard Hammond's crash.

Movie deleted!

I found that in bad taste.
We all know the tire blew and that is the only reason it crashed.

I've just had a check on YouTube and he's deleted the video, and I can't find it anywhere else. It implied that Hammond was distracted by this woman who was walking across the track, and tried to make his crash appear to be humourous. It's an insult to Hammond if you ask me.

Short synopsis: Richard drives off in the thingy, the Dutch, hot presenter woman stands on the side of the track, and Richard crashes, because he is distracted by her.
