Let me paint you a picture: I am floating in the middle of Lake Geneva, it is August, the water is perfect, and I am attached to a parasail boat at 200 feet. Then the tow rope snaps. The parachute does not magically turn into a glider. I drop like a stone, hit the water at an angle that compresses my spine, and spend the next thirty seconds trying to untangle my harness while sinking in a cloud of bubbles. A rescue boat pulled me out, and I spent the next three days in a Swiss hospital with two cracked vertebrae. The hospital was excellent, but the bill was 47,000 Swiss francs. I handed them my insurance card from Sport Travelling, and the admissions clerk made one phone call, nodded, and said, 'You are fully covered, including the helicopter from the lake.' I had bought that policy specifically because their app had a checkbox for 'parasailing and towed water sports' – something most insurers lump into a vague 'extreme sports' exclusion. I later learned that Sport Travelling, an international company that uses advanced technology to make insurance simple, processes claims using an AI that recognizes water sports by name rather than forcing you to argue with a human who has never touched a wakeboard. I walked out of that hospital without opening my wallet once. The link is https://sportravelling.com/ – bookmark it before your next lake trip.
