Skydiving Insurance
Dive into adventure with skydiving insurance that covers medical needs and more. Reliable, whether you’re a novice or a pro.
Are you looking for skydiving insurance that lets you take the leap without looking over your shoulder?
We designed our cover so your only focus is the horizon line, not hospital bills. Getting insured with us is quick, simple and built for that once-in-a-lifetime tandem jump.
With our Adventure Plus add-on, you’re covered for:
✅ Tandem skydives with a qualified instructor.
✅ Emergency medical care if something goes sideways.
✅ Evacuation by ambulance or air (with pre-approval).
✅ Repatriation home and 24/7 emergency assistance.
What’s included in our skydiving travel insurance?
You're covered for:
- Worldwide emergency medical expenses: We settle overseas hospital bills and keep our 24/7 assistance team on standby in case a skydiving injury strikes.
- Trip cancellation & curtailment: If illness, weather alerts or official advisories ground your plans, we refund the non-recoverable costs of your skydive package and travel.
- Baggage & jump-gear loss or damage: From action-cams to helmets, we reimburse or replace kit that’s stolen, lost or battered in transit.
- Medical evacuation & repatriation: Whether it’s an ambulance ride from the drop zone or an airlift home, we arrange and pay once our assistance doctors sign it off.
What's not included in this policy?
Our travel insurance for skydiving does not extend to:
- Solo, unguided or multiple jumps: Cover is strictly for one tandem skydive with a qualified instructor per policy. Anything else (wingsuit, formation, BASE, etc.) is outside the parachute.
- Commercial, professional or paid-for jumps: We insure amateur thrills, not work shifts in free-fall.
- Jumps under the influence or ignoring safety rules: Alcohol, drugs or breaking local regulations voids cover faster than you can say “pull”.

What does our Skydiving insurance cover?
With Rise & Shield’s skydiving cover, we safeguard the whole experience, from the nervous ride up to that grin-wide landing in the drop zone.
Medical Emergencies and Evacuation
We pay overseas hospital bills and, when a doctor orders it, arrange ambulance or air evacuation back to safe ground, all pre-approved through our 24/7 assistance team.
Equipment Loss or Damage
Helmets, altimeters or the action-cam that captured your scream-fest. If kit is lost, stolen or accidentally wrecked in transit, we’ll reimburse or replace it.
Travel Inconvenience Benefit
Grounded flights, traffic-snarled motorways, missed connections? When logistics implode and you risk missing the call-time in the hangar, we refund reasonable extra transport or accommodation so the adventure stays on track.

Why do I need skydiving insurance?
Most run-of-the-mill travel insurers file skydiving and parachuting under “hazardous activities”, which is code for claim denied. Here’s the gap our cover closes:
- Extreme-sport exclusions: Attempt a tandem leap on an ordinary policy and any medical or cancellation claim is likely to be thrown out. We purpose-build our skydiving insurance around that single, instructor-led jump.
- Medical & evacuation shortfall: A hard landing can rack up hospital bills and air-evac costs that mainstream insurers cap or reject. We settle those expenses and coordinate the rescue logistics 24/7.
- Protection for jump gear & media kit: Standard plans rarely list altimeters, helmets or action-cams. Our policy insures the specialist kit you lug to the drop zone, so a smashed GoPro doesn’t smash the budget.
- Confidence when plans go sideways: Weather delays, grounded aircraft or a last-minute drop-zone closure can shred your itinerary. We refund reasonable extra transport and accommodation so the dream jump stays alive.
Whether you’re ticking a bucket-list tandem or gifting a jump voucher to a mate, our skydiving insurance keeps the focus on the horizon, not the fine print.

Skydiving insurance FAQs
Usually not. Most standard policies list skydiving as a hazardous activity and refuse related claims. Our skydiving insurance fills that gap so the only thing free-falling is you, not your finances.
Just one. A single, instructor-led tandem skydive per policy is included.
No. We only insure a tandem jump with a qualified guide; solo or extra jumps fall outside the cover.
Public Liability (and Personal Accident) sections are switched off during adventure activities like skydiving, so they don’t apply mid-air.
We will, provided our 24/7 assistance team pre-approves it first; remember an extra excess applies to chopper rescues.
