I possibly wouldn't be going too overboard pointing out on here where it could all go wrong, insurance companies aren't bothered if the TT carries on or not and they are looking to reduce their risk as every year passes.

Insurance will untimely be the key, but there was also something mentioned this year that went unnoticed or certainly not picked up on, and that was Tynwald not wanting bad press/ accidents/deaths shedding a bad light on IOM Ltd. Although it is sort of obvious, I don't recall it being vocalised in that manner before. Again, behind the scenes, there is obviously discussions to reduce that publicly to an absolute minimum. 
As for pointing out things, Insurance company's are not daft and will have a lot more facts and figures that we will ever be told about when calculating the risks and coming up with a premium. It also would not surprise me if Tynwald was underwriting some of that risk, and have been since that last big incident that has resurfaced in the press lately.
Shane Byrne suing MSV for his accident wont help Motorsport Insurance premiums generally either.
