Help for Skiing Instructors
There are two types of skiing, most people only think of the most common one which is snow skiing and the other that is usually forgotten is water skiing. They are different in some ways but the same in a lot of ways. The main difference is that one is on the water the other on the snow. Snow skiing is definitely more popular it’s played as an Olympic game and there are ski resorts and hills all across the world. Whereas water skiing is often done on lakes, rivers or on the sea and can be just as dangerous. Water skiing is when the rider is hanging onto a rope usually attached to a boat, where as snow skiing you go down different mountain slopes with ski sticks.
Skiing is hazardous because of a few different reasons, mostly because of the speed that you are going, if you were to fall from your skis you would hit the ground very hard and many people have had severe injuries resulting from a tumble on the slopes. As a skiing instructor you have to be careful not only of yourself but of the people you are instructing as well. If one were to get into an accident while skiing you may find yourself held liable and have claims made against you. This situation can be negative for your business as well as being expensive. The cost is greatly reduced if you have insurance, but some people can find it difficult to get insurance coverage due to the dangerous nature of the sport.
Skiing instructors are welcomed as clients at some of the sports coach insurance companies, because skiing is dangerous but also because everyone needs insurance. At this point you may be thinking: yes, insurance for teaching skiing is a good idea but wouldn’t the policy be incredibly expensive? Fortunately some companies have policies for as little as ?60 a year that gives up to ?1 million in coverage.
You can go online to sign up and they email your policy immediately, providing instant cover for you, your students and your business as a skiing instructor. It doesn’t matter that the sport may be dangerous just that you, the instructor, have the help you need when you need it. It is a very serious matter when it comes to ensuring your livelihood isn’t affected by an accident that may not have even been your fault.
