Hammond was left in a coma after while attempting to break The World land speed record on The Show in 2006.
A subsequent also led to hospital treatment.
His comments come after current Top Gear host while filming in December 2022, leading to filming being halted.
When asked by BBC Radio 4 's Today programme presenter Nick Robinson if we have seen The End of daredevil stunts on Tv Now , following such high-profile, serious crashes, Hammond replied: " I doubt it".
" I think in all television programmes, if you're taking risks you have to mitigate everywhere against those risks, " he added, in a discussion about Amazon Prime's re-boot of another physically-demanding show, Takeshi's Castle.
" But also we've all got to remember, and occasionally I'm remined, just because we're on TV doesn't mean we're in some sort of magic protected bubble.
" Real world things still apply. "
Quizzed on whether he'd like see Flintoff return to The Show , Hammond replied: " Of course, very much. "
Flintoff was at Top Gear 's test track at Dunsfold Park Aerodrome in Surrey. Few details about incident have been publicly confirmed, but it has raised questions over The Future of The Show .
The: " Under the circumstances, we feel it would be inappropriate to resume making series 34. "

Hammond, who narrowly avoided death after his own Top Gear crash, said Last Year his wife had been told by doctors that " things aren't looking Good . . we think we're going to lose him".
The Bbc was criticised by the health and safety watchdog after an investigation uncovered failings. But Hammond's 2007 return, alongside footage of The Crash , was a ratings hit, attracting 8. 7 million viewers and beating the Big Brother final.
'Life-changing event'could be linked to his 2006 crash.
Asked if The Incident had changed him, he told Today: " An acquired brain injury is a life-changing event and it has it has various Effects - Long , short term.
" I've chatted to a lot of people recovering from similar injuries and The Path to recovery is breathtakingly similar in every instance.
" Whether that injury was acquired by crushing car, falling off a ladder or being shot at; the actual route to recovery of re-finding yourself is incredibly similar. "
Hammond, who also said that fronting another challenging BBC game show, Total Wipeout , was " huge fun" presented Top Gear from 2002 until 2015 alongside Jeremy Clarkson and James May . Clarkson's after his physical assault on a Top Gear producer.
Since 2016 The Trio have presented Amazon Studios ' The Grand Tour .
Speaking about The Return of Takeshi's Castle on the same network, hosted by Romesh Ranganathan and Tom Davis , He Said : " Pratfalls and Somebody Else hurting themselves, hopefully not too badly, is one of the oldest forms of humour, isn't it?
" I don't think we'll ever get away from that. "
