Extreme Sports Insurance

 

Do you take part in extreme sports?

If you do, you will understand that the chances of sustaining an injury whilst taking part in an extreme sport is likely to be higher than with an average sport. Whether it be serious or minor, it happens. Should you have extreme sports insurance?

The term 'sports insurance' is a fairly broad one and it covers a multitude of products and benefits. Typically, for the individual who takes part in extreme sports, the main topic of discussion is sports personal injury insurance also known as sports personal accident insurance.

Sports personal injury insurance for extreme sports covers an insured person for personal liability, death, disablement and income protection. Income protection is normally the primary reason for buying an extreme sports personal injury policy, although other benefits such as physiotherapy are always helpful to assist with recovery, should an accident occur.

You should consider the risk your extreme sport poses, what the likelihood of an accident occurring is, and if it was to happen, what implications this would have on your financial situation?  

For those who already hold personal accident insurance, it’s important to check that your policy includes accidents which occur specifically as a result of taking part in your extreme sport.
