It's been the Isle Of Man TT Races this week.

It seems that never a year goes by where someone isn't killed. :disappointed:

Just been reading that a Rider and 2 Spectators! have been killed today. :(

Is it time the races were stopped, or at least had major safety changes? :suspect:

A couple of bales of hay on dangerous corners ......

Come on! Get serious! It's the 21st Century! :brickwall:

Tragic news and I agree that there should be more than just a few bales of hay.

Very true, nomad, but I would've thought that the spectators could be more safer?

Fatality statistics probably don't agree with you. :brickwall:
