Skydiving Travel Insurance

Tandem Skydive

If you are looking to do something challenging and exhilarating, tandem skydiving can prove to be the highlight of your holiday. It is also one of the safest ways to skydive, especially for a first-time skydiver.

Tandem skydiving is not without risks. After all, you are still jumping from a height of 12,000 feet at a cool 120 miles per hour. If you plan to tandem skydive while on vacation, it's essential that you take out sports travel insurance. This should lessen your worries and let you truly enjoy an unforgettable jump.

What Type Of Sports Travel Insurance Do I Need?

Tandem skydiving is considered a Grade 3 high risk sport. It is recommended that you secure sports travel insurance for Grade 3 sports beforehand.

Grade 3 Cover

Grade 3 sports travel insurance also covers you for a range of other sports that you may wish to experience when travelling, including competitive mountainbiking and hot air ballooning. Cover includes:

• Emergency medical assistance 24 hours a day
• Emergency medical expenses up to £10 million
• Baggage and personal items cover
• Personal accident coverage

Please note - your policy covers tandem sky diving only up to 2 jumps. Solo jumps void your skydiving cover.

What Is Tandem Skydiving?

In tandem skydiving, you are strapped and connected to a jumpmaster - an experienced and licensed skydiver - who controls the entire jump from exit, to freefall, piloting the canopy, and all the way to landing. You, the student, need only minimal instructions and preparation time when tandem skydiving, usually just under an hour. Your safety in tandem skydiving can depend greatly upon the jumpmaster; thus it is important to get a well-experienced, well-trained, licensed, and professional jumpmaster.

Why Would I Need Sports Travel Insurance?

An emergency airlift or unexpected hospitalisation in a foreign country can be extremely costly. Travel insurance protects you from being liable for these bills and sports cover extends to injuries incurred while undertaking adventurous sports, such as sky diving.
