Are all sports covered by the travel assistance?

In our annual assistance contracts (Light, Smart, Sport, VIP), you benefit from medical cover for all sporting activities, EXCEPT for

- incidents or accidents occurring during motorized events (races, competitions, rallies, raids) when you are taking part as a competitor or assistant to a competitor;

- activities involving firearms (except at professional shooting ranges);

- particularly dangerous sporting activities (including extreme sports) that could expose you to serious injury or death if you practice them incorrectly.

 

The risk involved in these dangerous sports is usually due to the speed, height or depth involved. This type of sport often requires a specific physical effort on the part of the person and/or special equipment.

Dangerous sports activities are thus those described above and practiced by people who

- are unaware that the activity they are practicing is dangerous (lack of training), and/or

- do not respect safety measures, and/or

- practice the activity recklessly and irresponsibly,

thereby exposing themselves to serious injury or death in the event of an accident.

 

These dangerous sporting activities are nevertheless covered if they are practiced or accompanied by a person who has undergone professional training, attesting to their knowledge and experience of these activities, as well as their commitment to complying with safety standards.

A copy of the official training certificate may be requested.
