Don't the majority of TT casualties involve non-competitors "having a go"?
Anyway, the TT brings in huge amounts of business and cash for the IoM so there's no way plod would be doing anything whatsoever to stop that event - even though it is a million times more dangerous than running down a grassy bank. If it was held in Gloucester, maybe Honda would get their collars felt and warned as to their potential liabilities for supplying the bikes?

The police aren't too bothered about the people rolling down a hill.
It's the 15,000 spectators who turned up at the last event that they are worried about. That many people on a steep hill with no barriers? Great idea.

Again, its people's own risk. Its a hill in the middle of nowhere, not an arena. Or are people now so immersed in the world of tweets that they expect safety measures to be the same standard on top of a hill as at Wembley?

Seemingly, they are. Otherwise they would not warn off providers of cheeses for rolling down same.

Why, what dreadful misfortune befell them?

It's a grassy bank, ffs. If you are worried about lots of people on steep hills, I suggest you steer clear of the Lake District.
Unbelievable.

TBF FA 15k people packed on a steep grassy hillside isn't something I've seen very often in the Lake District.

There's a small volcanic island, just off the coast of Kos called Nisyros. Day trips are available from Kardamena.
On one visit we decided to take the guided tour of the volcano. Everyone was told to keep strictly to the marked paths and not touch anything. We all obeyed the advice except one American woman who, for reasons best known to herself, decided to dip her foot into a pool of fuming and bubbling water. It came out looking like a recently-boiled ham shank. |

The coppers are going to be mega busy in the future, what with 16,000 less of them how on earth will they police cheese rolling now they have to chase middle lane huggers and tail gaters. At least the muggers, drug dealers, human traffickers etc will be safe while they concentrate on important things.
