What is the liability insurance all about ? I thought
it was things like crop damage, damaging vehicles or
buildings, hitting innocent bystanders - either relatively
inexpensive or relatively infrequent claims. But if
it is being abused as a substitute for carrying life
insurance, then that's a whole new bucket of snakes.

I'm going to guess a bit, but assuming that a Nimbus
weighs about 5
times as much as a hang-glider all up (750 vs 150kg)
and flies twice
as fast (60 vs 30kt), it'll have twenty times the energy
on impact...
