Received yet another mailing offer for disability insurance - from a
reputable company, ready to pay a $250-500K indemnity for complete disability. The insurance covered accidents at home or at work, and there were very few outright exclusions. Of the eight or so exclusions they listed, two were different ways of saying "self-inflicted" or deliberate injuries or suicide attempts. Two were wartime or insurrection exclusions, and one was specific to use of nuclear weapons. All of the other exclusions were related to general aviation or air sports "of any form". They include all activity related to aviation other than "flying as a paying passenger on a scheduled airline". Doesn't this seem a bit over the top? They didn't even have a general "acts of God" exclusion, but anything to do with GA and you're out. I visited someone in a complete care hospital for accident victims a few years ago. According to him, the large majority of quadraplegic's there were (like himself) victims of automobile accidents. The second category was from gunshot wounds in city gang and drug wars (no exclusion on the insurance policy for involvement in criminal activities). After this came houshold accidents. No airplane accidents. I am not one of those who claim that GA is not dangerous - yet I don't see my overall life risk as greater than that of someone who drives a great deal. The per-hour risk of operating a GA plane is certainly much higher than a car, but probably much lower than that of, say, a ladder. GF |
