Isle Of Man TT: Past Crashes And Deaths

With such a mind-blowing level of speed, Isle Of Man TT is not without its cons. Isle of Man TT, especially, is no exception. It’s the deadliest professional racing sport in history, as a total of 270 competitors have died in the past competing for the first place. A total of 6 deaths occurred in 1970, making it the deadliest year in TT history. Such an astonishing number of deaths would even put Mount Everest death statistics to shame, which boasts 296 climber deaths.

The most recent Isle Of Man TT death was in 2018 when super biker Adam Lyon died during the event. Lyon had a dream and he paid for it with his untimely death. There have been as many as 270 recorded competitor deaths in the Isle of Man since 1910 in official races or practices since the competition’s beginning in 1907.

We hope the preliminary procedures in the Isle Of Man games guarantee rider safety for the minimum impact of injury and a heartfelt relief to the rider’s family and friends in the world’s one of the deadliest race known in the history of vehicle racing championships.
