I don't think this knowledge is obscure. "Sky sports" are one of the few things that make a person practically uninsurable, along with scuba diving, motorcycle racing, and private aviation.
- patch_cable 3y agoNot sure about the others, but I have had no problem getting life insurance as a private pilot. Some companies won’t touch it, but plenty will.
- bombcar 3y agoIt's a matter of risk balancing. A private pilot is more likely to die in a private plane crash, but also more likely to be able to afford paying for insurance. What insurers don't like is someone who throws off their "books" unexpectedly.
- JumpCrisscross 3y agoI dive and fly. My life insurance is still cheaper than a smoker’s.

- mlyle 3y ago> make a person practically uninsurable, along with scuba diving, [...] and private aviation. I don't know about motorcycle racing, but scuba and private aviation are plenty insurable. $1M 20 year term life goes for ~$100/mo if you're a younger pilot. There will be a somewhat smaller set of insurers to choose from, and a couple of outliers who try to charge you way more.
- FireBeyond 3y agoMy life insurance has no issue with me being a firefighter, or sky diving, as long as I don't combine the two and do smokejumping.
- Scoundreller 3y agoWhat about fire and skydiving? https://youtu.be/VyV_tjIw-YQ?t=255 https://youtu.be/VyV_tjIw-YQ?t=255
- throwaway2037 3y agoI don't agree with your comment about scuba diving. Not to be a shill, but I always use World Nomads Travel Insurance when I travel for scuba diving. It is simple to apply online and pay with a credit card. They have two levels of travel insurance: one for low risk activities, and another for higher risk activities, such as scuba diving.
