This is a news everyone wants to inform and read. The Isle of Man TT concluded last Saturday with a remarkable record: zero fatalities, despite the inherent dangers of the Snaefell Mountain Course and the typically challenging conditions.
There were still significant accidents and severe falls, the most notable involving Anthony Redmond. He suffered a crash during the warm-up lap for the first Supertwin race, resulting in multiple injuries and fractures, although his life is not at risk.
Fatal accidents have been a tragic norm at the Isle of Man TT. In fact, this year marks the first time since 2008 that there have been no fatalities. Since then, at least one rider has lost their life in every edition of the event.
Safety measures have progressively increased, both on the track and on the bikes. However, the road circuit, with few run-off areas, barriers, or protections, remains one of the most dangerous in the world. Additionally, the weather conditions are often difficult. Therefore, achieving zero fatalities at the 2024 Isle of Man TT is commendable.
