Huge number of skiers have inadequate insurance, study says
Huge number of skiers have inadequate insurance, study says More than 40 per cent of Britons on winter sports holidays have inadequate travel insurance, according to the Post Office. The study of 1,000 people also found fewer than 50 per cent knew whether their policy covered the hazards likely to be encountered on ski trips. The average cost of treatment was £700, rising to £150,000 in one case when immediate medical care and helicopter transfers were required. According to the SkiClub of Great Britain, 1.2 million Britons took a winter sports holiday last year, with more than 500,000 in France. Of those, 14,000 suffered injuries such as damaged ligaments or broken bones. The Government is keen to encourage people to be more careful on ski trips and to ensure they have adequate insurance. The Foreign Office’s Know Before You Go campaign tells holidaymakers that ski slopes are among the five sites where travel-related injuries are most likely to occur.
