Swingbo is a name for swinging on a rope or cable from a height, with a drop at the start. The term does not appear in policy conditions. The insurer looks at what you actually do.

There is no governing body and no fixed definition. On an application you therefore describe the act, not the name: swinging away on a rope from a platform, bridge or crane, with a short free fall at the start. Insurers place that alongside bungee jumping and canyon swings.
On many travel and personal accident policies that category is excluded by name: jumping or dropping from a height. Where acceptance is possible, it applies only with a certified operator. A home-made rope swing on a tree is insured nowhere.
The assessment turns on three questions: who organises it, how are you secured and has it been reported.
A name the insurer does not know gives you no cover.
Acceptance almost always depends on an inspected installation.
With a neck injury or a hard landing, who is liable for what matters.
What is covered
| Situation | Standard | With extension |
|---|---|---|
| Medical costs after a hard landing | No | Yes |
| Permanent disability from a neck or back injury | No | Provided that |
| Taking part with a certified operator | No | Provided that |
| A home-made rope swing or your own structure | No | No |
| Liability if you hit someone else | Provided that | Yes |
| Jumping after drinking alcohol | No | No |
What is actually covered is set out in the policy conditions and the insurance card (verzekeringskaart) that you receive in advance.
Two points that keep coming back with activities of this kind.
Policies generally name mountain sports, air sports, deep diving and speed competitions and also jumping from a height. Swingbo falls under that last item, even where the word does not appear. A new name for a familiar act does not change the assessment.
Operators almost always have participants sign a statement. Such an exclusion clause does not rule out everything: with a defective structure the operator may be liable as the owner of the structure (Article 6:174 of the Dutch Civil Code) or under Article 6:162 of the Dutch Civil Code. Keep the statement you signed.
Insurers weigh these details differently. That is where your saving is.
Customers rate our service on four aspects: personal service, service delivery, availability and the outcome. The reviews are collected and published by NH1816 and come from customers who have actually taken out a policy with Finass Advies B.V. or reported a claim.
This is what people ask us most.
Because it is not a recognised name for a sport. Insurers work with categories, not with the brand names of attractions. Your activity is placed under jumping or dropping from a height, the same item as bungee jumping.
Not automatically. Exclusions apply to one-off participation as well. Some insurers accept a single jump with a certified operator if it is reported in advance; have that recorded in writing before you leave.
Then the operator may be liable as the owner of the structure or for acting without due care. Report the accident to your insurer, record the situation with photographs and keep the participation conditions and the waiver.
Usually on a limited basis. Damage to items in your custody falls under the care, custody and control exclusion and is often excluded. Injury you cause to someone else is generally included, unless the activity itself is excluded.
Describe to us exactly what you plan to do. We put it to the insurer before you leave.
