Abstract:
A 10-year study of the helicopter transfer of motorcyclists injured during the International Motorcycle Tourist Trophy races (TT) and the amateur Manx Grand Prix (MGP) is reported. A total of 266 riders was transferred from the scene of the accident to hospital by air. The overall mortality rate for those riders airlifted was 3.38 per cent. The figures are compared with similar emergency helicopter services.
