So Harris has blurted the 'M' word at last
Harris said the crash happened as Flintoff was driving a three-wheeled supercar.
"It's a very, difficult car," he said. "You have to be aware of its limitations. And I think that really was difficult, and you need experience.
"There were two people that had driven a Morgan three-wheeler before present that day - me and someone else, a pro driver.

I find it total madness that there wasn’t a crash helmet being worn..

Yes very worrying. Hence I guess the lack of finger pointing at MMC

I’m listening to Chris Harris on the Joe Rogan podcast where he talks about the crash but he still doesn’t explain what actually went wrong on the day.
Chris was on site on the day but inside one of the buildings at the time and had no part in any safety briefings
Strangely the BBC made two inquiries into the accident none have been made public and Chris has only been able to see part of the second one despite approaching the BBC before to expressing his concerns

I read somewhere that they were wearing crash helmets, but as they were being filmed, I would expect them to be open faced, so no protection of you go face down on the road, even at slow speed.

Chris Harris, who was there at the time, has clearly said in an interview that they weren't wearing crash helmets.

A great show of personal strength. Lets see if he gets an OBE before Beckham?  Whoops did I say that out loud.
Everyone loves a Morgan. Even me, unless it's broken again.
