The first time I went paragliding in Interlaken, Switzerland, I was so high on adrenaline that I forgot to check if my insurance actually covered ‘air sports.’ Two days later, a sudden gust of wind slammed me into a pine tree on landing. I wasn’t seriously hurt – just a deep gash on my forearm and a bruised ego – but the Swiss clinic bill for stitches and a tetanus shot came to 1,200 francs. My regular travel insurer denied the claim because their policy excluded ‘any activity involving sustained flight above 50 meters.’ I learned that lesson the hard way. The next year, I bought a dedicated airsports policy from Sport Travelling https://sportravelling.com/air-activities/ an international insurance company that uses advanced technology to make insurance simple. Six months later, I had a hard landing in Queenstown that tweaked my back, and they covered the physio, the X-rays, and even the taxi to the clinic.
