Coverage Options
Paragliding Insurance Coverages
Every policy a paragliding school, tandem operator, or instructor needs — in one place, from specialists who understand free flight.
Participant & Spectator Liability
Participant liability is the foundation of paragliding operator coverage. It protects against third-party claims of bodily injury or property damage arising from instruction, tandem flights, and operations at your launch and landing zones.
Professional Liability (Instructor E&O)
Professional liability — errors & omissions — covers claims that arise from how you teach, not just what happens physically. For paragliding instructors and schools, it responds to allegations of negligent instruction, premature sign-offs, or bad in-flight guidance.
Glider & Equipment Coverage
A school's fleet of gliders, tandem wings, harnesses, reserves, and radios represents a major capital investment. Equipment coverage (inland marine) protects that gear against theft, accidental damage, and loss in transit to launch.
Commercial Auto Insurance
Paragliding operators shuttle students and passengers up mountain roads to launch and back from landing zones daily. Personal auto policies exclude this business use — commercial auto covers the vehicles, the liability, and your passengers.
Workers Compensation Insurance
Workers comp is required from your first employee and provides medical and wage benefits to injured staff. For paragliding schools, instructors and ground crew face real injury exposure during ground handling, launches, and retrieves.
Participant Accident & Medical
Participant accident & medical coverage pays medical costs for an injured student or tandem passenger regardless of fault. It defuses claims early, supports your customers, and often satisfies waiver and site-permit requirements.
Commercial Umbrella Insurance
Umbrella insurance extends your primary liability limits. Given that a single paragliding fatality or serious injury can exceed $1M, an umbrella is the most cost-effective way for operators to carry the limits a catastrophic claim demands.
