Paragliding - What is covered:
- Medical & Repatriation costs : are costs incurred due to an accident or illness sustained abroad (outside your Home Country); it covers transport to a suitable hospital to receive necessary emergency medical treatment, and for being repatriated if necessary. Please read Section(A) of the policy for full details of Medical cover.
- Paragliding with travel insurance : This is a Travel Insurance policy, not activity top-up insurance, therefore the period of cover as per your certificate of insurance must be for the whole duration of a trip, not just the period of participating in paragliding. Insurance must be taken out prior to departure from your home country.
Normal travel insurance applies when not participating in paragliding.
- Higher Excess limit : There is no extra charge for this cover for paragliding, but, to compensate for there being no extra charge, Paragliding is classified as a High Risk activity, for which there is a higher Excess in the event of a claim. The Excess, which is the first part of any claim that you pay, is €750 for High Risk Activities, rather than the normal excess for Schedule (A) which is €120.
- Rescue costs : costs of transport to a suitable hospital are covered under Section (A) of the policy only when emergency medical treatment is needed.
- Search & Rescue costs : Section (T) of our policy provides limited but useful additional cover for other 'search & rescue' costs when provided by any recognised rescue service.
Paragliding - What is not covered :
- Personal Liability is not covered (that is you causing injury or damage) when paragliding; therefore, it is essential to have this type of cover from some other source, usually through your paragliding organisation.
- Personal Accident is not covered (compensation for death or permanent disablement), not to be confused with emergency medical costs which are covered.
- Paragliding Equipment - the full value of your equipment will probably not be adequately covered, see Section (M) Personal Possessions, as sports equipment is only covered to a maximum of €375.
