Default How dangerous is soaring?

Hi Nyal



According to my insurance company, soaring is less dangerous than being a
hobby handyman. They load your premium if you use power tools in your
garage, but not if you admit to flying gliders. Bruce



Unfortunately, it may be that they just include a disclaimer in your
insurance policy (assuming it's life insurance), stating that you are not
covered while acting as air crew or while piloting or passenger in GA
aircraft. This is common in the US and would likely be the case unless you
have policy that specifically covers you while partaking in flying
activities.

I understand there is no such exclusion of coverage for home handymen (g).
