So what is the deal with this skydiving insurance? Does having to get insurance mean that skydiving isn’t safe? On the contrary, skydiving and parachuting are very safe sports that have a good safety record. But you have to realize that they are still extreme sports that presuppose jumping out of a plane! Participating in such adrenaline packed sports would mean understanding the danger that you are exposing yourself to and thinking there is no danger would only mean lying to yourself. You should get skydiving insurance for your piece of mind that if something would happen to you then your family and loved ones would be looked after. You can get skydiving insurance in case of death, loss of limbs, sight and total disablement.
A lot of people are looking to do something they have never thought of, something that would release all their inhibitions and follow the call of adventure. Tandem skydiving is one of the safest ways to achieve the thrills that you are looking for, especially if you have never skydived before. But although tandem skydiving is the safest way to skydive, you should understand that it isn’t without risks. Getting a tandem skydive insurance would be a smart move to make if you plan to do this on your vacation. By doing so will help you to worry less and enjoy the unforgettable experience you will have by jumping from 12,000 feet at 120 miles per hour.
You might wander why you need tandem skydiving insurance if it is considered to be so safe. Tandem skydiving is considered to be a grade 3 risk sport, what this means is that it has a high chance of injury. That is why it is recommended that you get a tandem skydive insurance beforehand.
In tandem skydiving you basically are connected to a jumpmaster (a person that is a licensed experienced skydiver) who will control the entire jump so you will be able to enjoy the jump without worrying about the jump from the exit, the freefall, piloting the canopy and the landing. You will, however, need minimal instructions and preparation before actually participating in the jump.
Besides the tandem skydiving insurance you should also make sure that you can depend on the jumpmaster. He or she should be an experienced skydiver with thorough training and should be licensed.
Even if you are an experienced and well-trained jumper you should still consider skydiving insurance. There are dangers that even the best skydivers can not anticipate, such as changing wind conditions leading to downdrafts and crosswind or downwind landing. You could end up with a couple of bruises, strains and broken bones and even with serious concussions and spinal injuries.
