Terry Everall Posted June 12, 2016 Posted June 12, 2016 Some fantastic racing seen on ITV4 but so so sad that 5 competitors lost their lives this year. I don't know what anyone can do about it but any life lost is not easy to accept Quote
jeff oakley Posted June 12, 2016 Posted June 12, 2016 It is sad but everyone of those who lost their lives knew the risk. It was probably the risk that drove them to do it in just the same way as people do any number of dangerous sports. Some figures quote that horse riding kills on average 10 people per year in the UK with many more seriously injured. we have to accept risk and minimise it but unless you ban things then deaths will continue. The TT should be allowed to continue as people need to have something dangerous to do, without danger we would not have evolved. Quote
