Deaths in Road racing


According to Wikipedia at least 18 riders have died just in Isle of Man since 2010. Is there any other sport where a sportsperson dying is this common and accepted?It is still billed in popular culture as the most dangerous motorsport event in the world, with the New York Times stating the number of deaths "to 146 since it was first run in 1907; if one includes fatal accidents occurring during the Manx Grand Prix, the amateur races held later in the summer on the same Snaefell Mountain Course, the figure rises above 250."
