Jeremy Clarkson explores the risks of rapid transit. This episode is titled, "Surviving Speed".

Production code: LSFJ346S

Machines have made us the only animal that can exceed its natural speed limit, leaving our bodies especially vulnerable to damage. To explore how we survive our love of speed, Clarkson meets Cresta Run riders in St Moritz and talks to the chief test-pilot of the Eurofighter.
