I heard they stopped that race after all the publicity from internet when that one dude several years back scraped his handle bars on a stone wall and got the death wobble and just let go of the bars as he ate it at over 190 miles per hr.

The suspension is wound up as tight as the riders. Non did air well without the wobbles.

Crazy is right, But what a ride it would be if you lived through it.

You would be a hero or a zero in 1/1000 sec.

And just what is the death rate each year?

Safety

The future of the TT is always in doubt with regards to the safety, especially "Mad Sunday" when any member of the public can ride the mountain section of the course which is open one way from Ramsey to Douglas.[citation needed] The TT races are extremely dangerous because of the high speeds on very narrow, twisting streets, roads and lanes flanked by stone walls and even buildings.[citation needed] Between 1907 and 2009 (at the end of 2009 TT races period) there have been 237 deaths during official practices or races on the Snaefell Mountain Course (this number includes the riders killed during Manx Grand Prix and the Clubman TT races).[citation needed]Wikipedia
