[@alfiecarey6932]

One of the very rare occurrences where Hammond is taller than someone...

[@xXxKAMIKAZExXx]

This is the view Richard Hammond thinks average height people see.

[@MartinAston00]

Wonder how many times someone has dropped that tiny Allen wrench 🤣

[@jimmylozano7490]

Everybodies talking about the Guys height while the camera man is literally flying around

[@amiramiruddin7343]

After watching this, I have a lot more respect for construction workers

[@AnimalzyNL]

The engineer seems like a genuinely nice dude. Usually the engineers etc. on this show always seem very serious and dull, but this guy seems like a fun guy to be around with.

[@imranyounis1970]

I have acrophobia. I got strange feelings in my calves even watching highet in this video. Who else have such feelings?

[@simplewar]

Dropped that small Allenkey

[@nakibsayyed4999]

Just imagine only carrying a single Allenkey on the top and dropping it by mistake...I can't imagine the intensity of depression and the frustration.

[@jachu1433]

For someone afraid of heights, I feel anxious just watching this video 🥺😬😖

[@atomosa7664]

Sure everyone talks about the height, but goddamn if the engineering isn’t ingenious

Richard: I am the tallest man in the world.
