Yes death rate is extremely high but it's a simple and clear point - don't do it if you don't want to!
There are many dangerous occupations out there. I assume you eat fish don't you? Have you ever considered this insanely high danger involved in catching these fish? I assume you consume products from China where some factories and mines have stupidly high rates of injury and death.
Considering these are jobs and not recreational occupations (like the TT) surely your (assumed) consumption of them is hypocrisy?
Everyone has been touched by tragedies close to the heart, but I for one don't accept that the way to respond to this is by banning a sport that people willingly compete in with full knowledge of the dangers.
I am happy we live in a free country where you can still, by your own accord, do something crazy like the TT. It's stupid, it's dangerous, and the guys that do it are fully mental. But so what! that is THEIR decision!
