Ever heard the term “have you hugged your parachute today?”
Let's face some of the cold hard facts of skydiving.
- You can’t jump without your gear...
- You can’t borrow your friends’ gear and still jump with them...
- Life’s pretty dull if you can’t jump...
For most active skydivers, losing their precious parachute equipment and not being able to jump is rated as something close to having a double mal.
Modern parachute gear is expensive.
When you add up the replacement cost of a new main, reserve, container and AAD and other loose items, it comes close to the GNP of a small Nation!!
Your gear represents a huge financial outlay and if lost would severely curtail your recreational and vocational jumping. (Not to mention the mood swings etc)
There is a way to protect your investment!!
For the cost of a few jumps you can now insure your gear through the APF’s Equipment Insurance Policy. All it takes is a few minutes to write down the details of your gear on this form and send it with payment to the APF.
Now, the only thing that will stop you jumping is the weather...
Oh, and did we forget to mention the plane breaking down, and then of course there’s waiting for your reserve to be packed after a mal and ...
Travel Insurance For Skydivers
After your passport and tickets, travel insurance is perhaps THE most important item to arrange before travelling overseas on a skydiving holiday or trip. Think of the financial disaster that may face you following an event that may otherwise be a mere inconvenience back home.
Consider, for example, a broken leg after an accident. You should know that in some countries the associated medical costs will be in the tens of thousands of dollars. Add in a stay in hospital and you could be faced with hundreds of thousands of dollars of medical bills. Consider a broken femur following a mis-timed swoop landing at a drop zone in the US. Everything that you have ever heard about hospital bills in the US is correct. Without insurance that covers parachuting, you may face a life-long financial disaster caused by a huge hospital bill. And the US isn't the only country with high medical costs!
Or the loss of your goods if your luggage and gear bag is lost or stolen. As well as the great inconvenience you will have the financial hardship of replacing everything.
For this reason, wise travellers never leave home without a quality travel insurance policy. Wise skydivers never travel anywhere overseas to jump without travel insurance that specifically covers them while jumping.
