Extreme sports push the boundaries and make receiving life insurance difficult.
Playing sports and activities is a great way to stay in shape and have fun. From less strenuous ones like golf to more physical ones like rugby. Each sport has its own set of risks that are associated with the ease of obtaining life insurance. There are some sports and activities that make obtaining life insurance incredibly difficult to the point that some may say that it’s downright impossible. Here are the sports that make acquiring life insurance very difficult.
- Ice climbing
The risk of being impaled by an icicle the size of Andúril–Aragorn’s sword reforged from the shards of Nasril–and plummeting hundreds of feet to an icy death makes insurance companies want to climb away from insuring these individuals.
- Big-wave surfing
When you’re riding under the break of a wave that weighs more than 400 tons (that’s 820,000 lbs., or 315 cars piling up on top of you) insurance companies won’t want to hang-10 with you.
- Cliff diving
At this point, you might as well tell the insurance company that your call is actually a prank call. Slamming into water (whose water tension will not break the moment of impact, making it feel harder than concrete), or falling onto the cliff’s side and sustaining every injury imaginable is not something life insurance companies will want to hear.
- Street luge
“Sanka, you dead?”
“Ya, mon.”
While “Cool Runnings” may be one of the funniest movies ever made, it doesn’t make insurance companies laugh. Especially when your 70 mph street sun makes it into the “Biggest Failz of 2016 LOLZ”
