Air sport · a one-off jump · waiver

Tandem skydiving and your insurance

In a tandem jump you are attached to a certified instructor who operates the parachute system. For insurers it remains an air sport, and that is excluded on most policies.

In brief

You do not jump yourself: the tandem master steers, opens and lands. That reduces the risk, but it does not change the category. Travel, accident and life policies contain an exclusion for air sports, including parachute jumping, and it applies to the passenger at the front of the harness as well.

Some insurers make an exception for a one-off tandem jump at a recognised parachute centre, provided it is declared in advance. That exception does not apply to a training course, a solo jump or formation jumping. Without a declaration there is no cover, not even for medical costs.

What is covered with tandem jumping?

Three policies meet here: travel, accident and liability.

In advance

Notify it and have it accepted

You have to apply for the exception for a tandem jump yourself.

  • The name of the parachute centre
  • A one-off jump or a course
  • Confirmation on paper
Accidents

Disability and death

This is often where the air sports clause bites hardest.

  • A separate risk sport clause
  • On life policies as well
  • Ask for the wording in advance
On the ground

The parachute centre and the waiver

You almost always sign a statement accepting the risk yourself.

  • Check the certification
  • Keep the waiver
  • Report an accident immediately

What is covered

SituationStandardWith extension
Medical costs after a landing accidentNoYes
A one-off tandem jump, declared in advanceNoProvided that
Permanent disabilityNoProvided that
Training to become an independent jumperNoNo
Jumping outside a recognised parachute centreNoNo
Cancellation of the trip for another reasonProvided thatYes

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 determine whether your jump is insured.

Air sports sit alongside mountain sports in the exclusions

The standard list names mountain sports, air sports, deep diving and speed competitions. Parachute jumping comes under air sports, together with paragliding, gliding and BASE jumping. The exclusion rarely distinguishes between solo and tandem. That distinction is something you have to have recorded yourself.

Parachuting and skydiving

Do not forget your life and accident insurance

An application form often asks about high-risk sports. If you answer incorrectly, Article 7:928 of the Dutch Civil Code applies and the insurer can fall back on Article 7:930 of the Dutch Civil Codewhen you claim. If you jump only once, check whether your current accident policy contains an air sports clause.

What does your premium depend on?

  • A one-off jump or jumping regularly: one jump is open to discussion
  • Tandem or independent: solo weighs more heavily
  • Country of the jump: supervision varies widely
  • Sums insured: disability and death
  • Age: counts on the accident cover
  • Other risk sports: the overall picture determines acceptance

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

Frequently asked questions

This is what people ask us most.

I do not jump myself; is it still excluded?

Usually yes. The exclusion for air sports looks at the activity, not at who operates the parachute. Some insurers accept a one-off tandem jump after it has been declared in advance. That is an exception, not a rule.

What does the parachute centre itself cover?

Parachute centres have their own liability insurance for mistakes by their staff or their equipment. It does not cover injury that arises without any fault. The waiver you sign further limits your ability to recover; keep a copy.

Do I have to declare it to my life insurer?

If the insurer asks about it, yes. Non-disclosure comes under the duty of disclosure of Article 7:928 of the Dutch Civil Code. For a one-off jump a short written notification is usually enough; ask for confirmation that the cover remains in place.

Can I cancel if the weather stops the jump?

Cancellation insurance covers the trip, not a jump that is called off. A postponement because of wind or cloud is a normal business risk of the parachute centre and falls outside the cover. Look at their own rebooking terms.

Are you going tandem jumping?

Have it established before the jump whether your policy includes air sports. We apply for it on your behalf.
