Ok, so to move this on...I saw this thread, had a quick google & found there had been 2 deaths at the TT already......
....So from this I conclude that deaths of competitors in the TT, still a world famous sporting event, are so routine they are not even considered newsworthy?....
And from this (fallacious) conclusion claimed as a fact (subsequently disproved by analysis of recorded data) that deaths were guaranteed, whereas this is not so, in as deaths are not and cannot be "guaranteed" in any sport, pastime or hobby - even in war, deaths cannot be "guaranteed" - they are to all intents and purposes, and throughout history, inevitable - but they are NEVER guaranteed. The only "guaranteed" FACT so far is that life ends in death - there is no other guarantee.

Thank you; I think that you will realize from our relative dates of joining this forum that I am perhaps not best described as a troll; rather as one who prefers to provide accurate information garnered from recorded public information rather than biased and unsubstantiated suppositions.
... and a pleasant goodnight to you.

Gram you are not the troll but I suspect someone else is !!
but then there are always some who dont really know what they are talking about as they dont have the experience but instead rely on google for their information !

Pretty much sums it up I think.
While I get what the OP is trying to say the original post was inaccurate and misleading which is all I was trying to point out. Maybe rephrasing the post to make the statement accurate would have been better. They seem to have taken umbrage when I was purely pointing out the inaccuracies of their comment. I'm sure they would have done the same had it been me that had made the post.

Apologies, I didn't make myself very clear. I meant the first post about the guaranteed fatalities not the original post by yourself. It was early

They knew the risks. But if you ever raced or took part in a dangerous sport, competitively, and honed skills to the enth degree, you also have the utter belief in your own immortality. Unfortunately not always correctly. The high price paid has to be weighed against the test of skill and bravery, which gives thrills not possible to describe. I thoroughly enjoyed the debate But the same type of lads flew Spitfires, one time. And climbed Everest. and so on. And like the Dunlop family, they are legend. Enjoy.
