Skeleton and your insurance

In skeleton you go head first down an ice channel on a sled. The speed and the impacts against the wall make it a sport that is assessed separately.

In brief

Private individuals mostly take up skeleton as a guest run on a bob track, booked with the track operator and ridden under supervision. That is not the same as competitive sport, but the speed and the forces in the corners are the same, and insurers reflect that in the risk class.

The winter sports module will not help you here. It covers skiing and snowboarding on the piste; a run down an ice channel is separate from that. With many insurers, skeleton also comes close to the exclusion for speed contests, certainly once times are being recorded.

The operator will almost always have you sign a waiver declaration. That limits your ability to pursue the track under Article 6:162 of the Dutch Civil Code, but it arranges nothing about your own cover. So report the run to your insurer in advance.

What is covered in skeleton?

Three things: the nature of the run, notifying your insurer in advance and personal accident cover.

Type of trip

Guest ride or competition

Timing changes the assessment.

  • Consider a supervised tourist run separately
  • Recording times makes it a competition
  • Training counts as competition
In advance

Notify it and have it accepted

What you do not declare is not covered.

  • Notify us before you leave
  • Ask for written confirmation
  • Even for a single run
In the event of injury

Accidents and treatment

Impacts against the wall cause neck, shoulder and head injuries.

  • Call the emergency assistance centre
  • Check the scale of benefits
  • Keep the report from the track

What is covered

SituationWinter sports as standardWith extension
Supervised guest run on a bob trackNoProvided that
Medical costs after injury on the trackNoYes
Permanent disability after a crashNoProvided that
A run with timing or a classificationNoNo
Training for a competitionNoNo
Practising it as a profession or for paymentNoNo

What is actually covered is set out in the policy conditions and the insurance card (verzekeringskaart) that you receive in advance.

Where things go wrong in practice

Two points that decide whether your policy pays after a run down the ice channel.

As soon as the time counts, it is a speed competition

The standard exclusions on travel and accident policies are speed contests, mountain sports off the beaten track, air sports and diving below your certified depth. A supervised guest run sometimes still falls outside the first category. A run in which your time is recorded or a classification is drawn up does not.

A signed waiver is no substitute for cover

The track operator has you sign that you accept the risks. That works between you and the track and limits a claim under Article 6:162 of the Dutch Civil Code. Your own medical costs and a payment for disability depend solely on your policy. Report an accident straight away (Article 7:941 of the Dutch Civil Code).

What does your premium depend on?

  • Risk class of the sport: high speed in an ice channel
  • Guest ride or competition: timing changes the class
  • Guidance: instruction by the track
  • Destination. European tracks or beyond
  • Duration of the trip: a single trip or annual cover
  • Sums insured: mainly for permanent disability

Insurers weigh these details differently. That is where your saving is.

Frequently asked questions

This is what people ask us most.

Is a guest run in skeleton covered?

Not automatically. The winter sports module covers piste skiing, not a run down an ice channel. Some insurers include a supervised tourist run if it is reported in advance; ask for written confirmation before you book.

What if my time is recorded?

Then the run comes close to a speed competition and the exclusion applies with almost every insurer. That also goes for training runs that form part of a competition programme.

Does the waiver from the track help?

It mainly protects the operator. It limits your ability to hold the track liable, but it says nothing about your cover. Your policy conditions determine whether anything is paid.

Which injuries are most common here?

Injuries from impacts against the track wall: neck, shoulder and head. Check the personal accident cover in particular, and the scale of benefits for permanent disability, alongside cover for treatment and transport home.

Are you booking a skeleton run?

Have it confirmed before you leave what your policy does. We find out which insurer includes this run.
