From amateur stomach churns, to performing pin-wheel turns, skydiving can bring a range of exhilarating experiences whatever your level of participation.

Whatever you skydiving experience speak to us today about the availability of cover for a wide range of activities such as indoor parachuting, static line, free fall skydiving or tandem parachute jumps.

As an extreme sports specialist we work with you to investigate what cover is available to suit your needs.

There are obvious risks associated with skydiving. These risks can arise from skill level, equipment, meteorological (weather) and mechanical (aircraft) factors.

Ultimately, these factors inform decisions about premiums for skydivers.

In addition, frequency of participation in your sport is something we’ll also chat to you about to identify if the activity is a one-off, a hobby or professional career.

To include your skydiving activities on a life insurance policy, underwriters will need to understand and assess your level of participation. We’ll look at these later in this article.

As a result, we started working with, and developing an expertise in, an increasing number of outdoor enthusiasts who enjoyed a range of other outdoor activities.
