Paramotoring Travel Insurance
If you are planning a trip abroad and participating in Paramotoring, you will need a Travel Insurance policy before you leave your home.
We can provide cover through our provider Adventures.
Please Note: We can cover the days you will participate in Paramotoring if you already have a Travel Insurance policy. When getting a quote and purchasing a policy, you must take out only Adventures Party A Only, so the cover is valid.

Common Injuries
Paramotoring accidents happen more frequently when people are on holiday abroad, as they are less familiar with the landscape and the local climate.
Deaths caused by Paramotoring are exceptional. When they do happen, however, it is often because the pilot was attempting to push him or herself past their limits or due to inexperience. A fatal accident is nearly impossible if you are an experienced Paramotorer and use common sense.
Bruises and cuts to other body parts might also occur in these circumstances. These injuries may occur when paramotoring.
Paramotoring Equipment
Pilots require technological equipment such as a Variometer, a device that indicates the climb or drop rate and altitude, a radio, and possibly a GPS.
It is also essential to wear appropriate clothing. Multiple layers of light clothing are better than a couple of layers of thick clothes.
Proper footwear is essential as well but is easily overlooked.
Pilots are advised to wear trainers or hiking boots with ankle support, offering more protection during the landing.
Pre-Existing Medical Conditions
We can provide you with a policy if you have pre-existing medical conditions and plan to participate in Paramotoring while travelling abroad.
Our provider (Adventures) can offer travel insurance if you have a pre-existing medical condition.
