It was posted on one of the IOM Facebook pages so would guess its recent.
Glad neither me nor my bike are on there.

Don't worry Rossgo
They give out life jackets on planes so I'm sure someone would have gone round the ship handing out parachutes

The worst part of that would have been the smell of puke everywhere, nowt wrong with a rough crossing except the bikes and cars going through the spin cycle down below.

Do bikes get strapped in as Deegee brings up a good point with that

They strap them very well,
I've been on that ferry when it's been like that. Utter puke fest
Bikes fared well tbh. Apparently they didn't do so other earlier years and scrapped a lot of fairings....

Cheers for letting me know. Good that they do strap them down, could see it doing a lot of damage if they didn't in that sort of weather

Tbh I have seen some badly secured cars and bikes on that crossing and god knows how they never broke free.
