It is a long one...sorry. http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?do=post_view_flat;post=270299;page=35;sb=post_latest_reply;so=ASC;mh=25; Oh and maybe you can talk me into telling the one where I was wrapped up in lines with another jumpers bag out at 9K. He and I looked like mummy's in that crap...I thought he was dead once I got out. I have no idea where to respond to your story but that was INCREDIBLE. I'm glad you did. So, move on . . . we're ready for the mummy episode. Start typing! In any event, I assume there's no question about what you told your insurance on that one. That had to cost a fortune.

Stuntbabex 0 #43 January 4, 2008 When I snapped my hand on the windsock, I just told them that I hit my hand on a pole and left out the skydiving part. They asked how and I said I was clumsy. They werent too persistent about it but I knew they knew there was more to the story. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squirrel 0 #44 January 4, 2008 Quote Quote Is it just me, or is everyone here saying it's ok to defraud your insurance co.? What happened to integrity and honor? Inflation Which is cause by having medical insurance in the first place. Prior to medical insurance, doctor visits and care was more reasonalbly priced. Every field in which insurance has been added has seen major increase in pricing. Watch, vet cost for dogs and will increase drastically when pet insurance becomes the norm. ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?

millertime24 8 #45 January 4, 2008 Im in the military and my commander has sighned a little piece of paper saying I can do the whole skyjumping thing. If I go in my parents get $400,000 as long as I was found to be following the BSR's when it happened (ie, all handles pulled). Oh yeah, and medical is free for us so I can tell them exactly what happened provided I live through it. Muff #5048 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kelpdiver 2 #48 January 4, 2008 QuoteQuoteAnyone that has health insurance knows what it covers. LOL. I've actually tried to look up hyperbaric medicine (rarely covered) as well as skydiving, motorcycles, others, and could not find anything to confirm or deny. Perhaps California law doesn't allow exclusions? But who's to say I just didn't get the comprehensive documentation? There is nothing clear about medical insurance. Newsworthy this week is Blue Shield getting smacked in court for their habit on waiting until someone files a claim to examine their application and decide to reject it.

If you're in the military, you're covered. It's one of the perks. Thanks for your service.
