It is described as a "serious head injury" in the coroners report 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

False rumours of decapitation at the TT are common though and have been for a long time. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomTucker Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 Is there any infomation on the border entry requirements for TT ? How are we going to police the port entry for bikers? Same as we have today or treat everyone as CTA passengers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given the move in UK to LFT testing on arrival, rather than PCR, will IoM follow suit? Important to me as there have been 3 changes since I booked my trip and started travelling.

I think at this point in time, there's no way they can say much about what the entry requirements will be in late May. Things change too quickly where covid is concerned. On one hand, the pandemic may be on the decline with fewer cases world-wide and with much less severity. (fingers crossed!) In this scenario we may not need any, or very few, testing requirements. On the other hand, the world may be in the grips of a more transmissible and deadly variant. We may need to be very careful about entry requirements, if indeed the TT would even go ahead under this scenario. Or we may be somewhere in between those two extremes. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hissingsid Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 Decapitation is not a rumour I remember a very famous rider lost his head at the bottom of Bray hill a long time ago, subsequently the bump in the road got smoothed out . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite. A tragic, horrific day. Also the accident a few years back on Sulby Straight resulted in a similar outcome. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calling it "common" is definitely a rumour. Internal decapitation might be "common", but decaptiation is not. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Define “common”. I’ve known of 3 or 4 in my time here. I’d suggest that outside of Islamic State activities, TT is possibly the commonest cause of decapitation. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
