Unfortunately, the fact that riders lose their lives on the roads during the Isle of Man TT is something we're all too familiar with. But when we think about that fact, we're usually thinking about those who race at the event. But just attending the IOM TT on your motorcycle puts you in significantly more danger than you might think, and the Isle of Man has just launched its annual campaign to remind spectators of that.
During the TT period in 2025, 32 road traffic collisions resulted in slight to serious injuries, and a further 65 incidents, including damage-only crashes, were recorded. It might come as a surprise to some that males aged over 50 remain the most common group involved in serious injury collisions. With thousands of visitors hitting the island's shores in a few days, the Isle of Man Constabulary doesn't want a repeat of last year.
