      My thoughts exactly. You get the impression from some of the answers that the riders didn't understand what the interviewer was trying to achieve. The TT is a unique event, a drug for riders and spectators alike, that is an angle that should have been explored for balance.

    You have to take one thing from this video….the riders are not forced to do the TT , they ride the course, because they want to, it’s the ultimate road race challenge, possibly the last greatest one, where a rider puts him or herself against the clock around the 37.3/4 miles of the mountain circuit 👍🇮🇲

      You can't run away from your trauma. She clearly states what still triggers her, that can't be hard to understand. I would have liked an official statement concerning what is being done to support traumatized marshals. Seeing a fatal crash, literally having to pick up the pieces, will traumatize anyone. These people should not be left alone with that. I think the biggest danger to the TT will come from these parts. Not riders dying, but riders dying publicly and the effects that has on non-riders.

    As for Mrs Forrest, she and her husband must have known the risks of a rider dying on their doorstep when they bought the house but they still proceeded to buy the house so are they any different to the riders who are just doing what they want to do also?

    As others have said this had an agenda. I am a former road racer and raced for 12 years at various levels. My only racing regret was never competing on the Isle of Man when I had the chance to, because my family asked me not to. I knew the risk every time I lined up for the start of a race. I’ve seen many crashes and had more than I can remember myself. I have seen two deaths in races I was competing in (one I saw happen) and I went back in the paddock, put the tyre warmers on and waited for the restart. We understood the risk and we were willing to take it because the thrill of pushing a bike to the limit in a test of skill against others is the most intoxicating experience, and when you come out on top, the buzz lasts for a long time. The biggest metal trauma I had from racing was retiring from it! I suffered depression and anxiety that I’d never had before, and it left a huge hole in my life. I agree that marshals and race organisers should have help following a stressful experience, it’s different from them, as riders you flick a switch when you go in to race mode, but for these people they are fans who are getting involved and are not always best placed to deal with the stress of this. As for the woman on the course, I’m afraid she purchased a house in the wrong place, attacking the TT just comes across as a “not in my backyard” moment. I understand that it would have been traumatic for her, but if you buy a house right on the edge of the TT course there is always a chance a bike/sidecar will end up in your garden. Every year I find myself thinking, “should I come back to do the Manx and then retire again?”.

      That's a much more balanced and a fairer comment than most here. I have watched this reporter cover many topics and the personal insults thrown at him are just childish. Everyone tells stories, whether they are boasting of their heroics or highlighting the dangers. He's an older man, maybe he has some life experience that makes him wistful to see young men die and leave grieving families behind them. There's nothing wrong in that, it's a natural order. The film I saw was him exploring all the consequences of having deaths in the race,I didn't hear him pushing any agenda. He sounded quite admiring of the one man who had to pull it all together,he explored the threat of rising costs to the race. The racers might be perfectly happy to risk their lives and I understand that is the appeal for them, but they have to accept that it affects other people beyond themselves. That's what he's exploring. And of course someone who bought a house on the road of the race gets little sympathy. Like city people moving to the country and complaining about tractors and church bells 🙄

    The TT isn’t about dying, it’s about living. If the riders taking the risk accept the dangers then why can’t everyone else? Poor documentary very unbalanced. Not once did you ask the psychologist what are the mental benefits/upsides of doing something like this. Also the underlying criticism that you are a bad father if you do this, the TT are negligent towards their riders etc etc.

    There's a very famous quote on a plaque in a cave here in South Africa where we dive, it reads: You have not lived until you have almost died, for those who have fought for it, life has a flavor that the protected will never know.
    For these Gladiators, putting on your helmet and getting onto that bike or into the sidecar is not a ritual preceded by thoughts of "what if I die" its a ritual preceded by thoughts of "this is going to be the most alive I'll ever feel" or "this is going to be the most exciting moment in my life" so to cheapen it with a question like what if you die, shows ignorance beyond words and a lack of understanding in what it means to truly live your life.

    I have raced at the TT, I have lost mates at the TT, it is what it is. Road racing never killed anyone who wouldn't have died at some point anyway, so you're not risking your life when you race at the TT, you're risking years. You're risking dying at 25 or 35 or 45, instead of dying at 65, 75 or 85. For those of us who do it, it's a conscious decision that it's worth the risk. It's that simple and no one else has the right to decide these things for other people.

    Milky! I'm surprised at you, Pembrey's in Wales, not England. As for this reporter, Guy Martin famously said "if you don't like it, go home, cut your grass, and leave us to it". I can see this guy doing a piece on the military, about how dangerous it is, without ever having put a uniform on.

    This video reminds me of the reporter who asked a mountain climber why he climbs. The answer; "If you have to ask the question then you won't understand the answer" was too confusing for the reported to understand. We all die. Some pass on doing what sets them free. The rest pass on with regrets.

    I must say I disagree with most of the comments as I think it was positive to show the boys and Girls who take on one of the most challenging sports and show them as thinkers who like most dangerous sports are not completely mad and it will come over to non
    understanders that Motorcycle Racers are not completely mad and mentally unstable which most of the general public think as they no doubt do for all risk takers in many dangerous sports
    Unfortunately the TT is a 2 week event that focuses on the good and bad for a very short period not like other dangerous sports ( Mountain Climbing etc over a year ) which no doubt has more fatalities but there are no spectators on the slopes of Everest
    We live in a very sanitised world and the option to take risks for sport are now being severely reduced as the Irish Racing scene is finding
    I have been privileged to have seen the greats over the years at the IOM including the Mike the Bike return but I just hope each year they all come back safe

    The TT is very much a reflection of life itself in that death is an intrinsic, unavoidable part of both.
    And the TT is only for the person that is comfortable with and understands that fact, and through that understanding and acceptance has a far richer experience than if they were to live in denial of these essential facts.

    To a lot of commenters - this man/documentary team are allowed to not like the TT and resent the damage it causes. No one wants to hear it, or talk about the fallout of death. It's a reasonable position. The TT is a form of madness and a lot of people will hate it. That's fine.
    I feel like this man could have extracted more out of this beyond the question of death or safety. Clearly, the riders don't like talking about it much, also asking these questions during the event doesn't seem like good timing. Perhaps 6 months after? Maybe there could have been another angle to understand it more. I'm not an interviewer, I don't know.
    The interview with Mrs. Forrest is fascinating and highlights, for me, a gap the TT organizers need to fill - trauma counselling and taking care of their staff during fatalities. The TT ends every year but the trauma doesn't. Also Mrs. Forrest just offers very well-thought-out opinions on something very complicated, I'd enjoy speaking with her personally.
    Overall - I think this video could have achieved a lot more than it has, it feels like a wasted opportunity. Asking the brother about his child, twice, is time I would have rather spent with more people like Mrs. Forrest or marshalls etc.

    To do something well is so worthwhile that to die trying to do it better cannot be foolhardy. It would be a waste of life to do nothing with one's ability, for I feel that life is measured in achievement, not in years alone.

    It's only the public who concentrate on the danger and death - I've been riding bikes for years and I've been to the TT. I know a few racers and the Main thing they think about is Winning. of course crashing and dying is in there but every racer is there to win. Crashing doesn't enter into it. And as for talking to riders, their wives and friends about dying before a race? wanker.

      No, it's aimed at people like you, People who thrive off sensational headlines. People who's lives are so empty they need something to crow about in the hope that someone else, equally as unfulfilled will agree with them and join in the hand wrinnging declarations of 'Down with that sort of thing'.
