Specialist paragliding insurance for individuals and paragliding instructors
No matter how you get up in the air – whether a running launch or a towed launch – paragliding is one of the most exhilarating adventure sports out there. When you’re paragliding there’s always a degree of risk, including bumps, bruises, breaks and worse. And if you’re a paragliding instructor, there’s also the risk of legal claims if someone injures themselves while paragliding under your instruction.

If you travel overseas to paraglide – as an instructor, as part of a team or participating – you can add worldwide cover to your tailored paragliding insurance policy. This gives you the same level of cover as when you paraglide in the UK.
It is standalone insurance specifically for paragliding and differs from a standard travel insurance policy that covers you for things like delayed flights, trip cancellation, and accidents or injuries outside of paragliding.
