Doesn't the flight school have any insurance?

Most likely yes. But most likely it covers the flight school, not the
renter pilot.

1) Pilot breaks airplane.
2) Insurance co. pays flight school.
3) Renter pilot learns what the word "subrogation" means.

Many flight schools fail to stress this "gotcha" to their customers
because then fewer folks would rent their airplanes.

Yes, so the plane is covered. Then the renter's insurance covers the
additional liability...

Only if the renter has bought enough hull coverage on his renter's
insurance policy. The hull is not covered by the liability portion. I haven't
looked lately, but usually about $100,000 is the most you can buy.
