That is its defining feature: it works even when nobody is to blame:\n  a solo fall, a bad landing, a hold that breaks, a wave that closes out.<\/p>\n\n  <p>In insurance terms, this is a <strong>personal accident guarantee<\/strong>. It steps in on\n  three fronts that other policies leave open:<\/p>\n\n  <ul>\n    <li><strong>Actual medical costs<\/strong>: what remains after your public health scheme and\n    private health plan have paid: consultation excesses, private rooms, medical equipment,\n    physiotherapy.<\/li>\n    <li><strong>Search, rescue and repatriation<\/strong>: helicopter evacuation in the mountains,\n    extraction from a remote site, medical repatriation from abroad. These items run into tens of\n    thousands of euros and are barely covered by public health systems.<\/li>\n    <li><strong>Long-term consequences<\/strong>: a lump sum in the event of permanent disability or\n    accidental death, meant to offset lost income or fund home adaptation.<\/li>\n  <\/ul>\n\n  <p>Do not confuse it with <strong>liability insurance<\/strong>, which covers damage you cause to\n  a third party: the cyclist you collide with, the skier you bring down, the gym window you break.\n  The two are complementary, never interchangeable.<\/p>\n\n  <!-- ============================ SECTION 2 ============================ -->\n  <h2>Why insure yourself for sport?<\/h2>\n\n  <p>Because sports accidents are not rare events. In France alone, the national injury survey\n  (Epac, Institut de veille sanitaire) counts roughly\n  <strong>910,000 sport and physical-activity accidents a year<\/strong>. Almost one in five leads\n  to hospitalisation, and one in four to time off work or school.<\/p>\n\n  <p>So the issue is not likelihood, it is the <strong>coverage gap<\/strong>.

The\n  <strong>unlicensed, independent athlete<\/strong> (the Sunday trail runner, the rider stacking\n  up MTB outings, the skier off the beaten track, the climber out with two friends) has\n  <strong>no specific accident cover at all<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n  <p>Personal liability, bundled into a home policy, pays if you injure someone else. But if you\n  fall alone, there is no one to hold liable and therefore no compensation. That leaves the health\n  system, which reimburses treatment, not a helicopter bill, not lost income, not a permanent\n  disability.<\/p>\n\n  <p class=\"axeo-callout\"><strong>A useful reflex:<\/strong> read the excluded-activities list in\n  your home insurance terms. You will almost always find a clause ruling out air sports,\n  motorsport, underwater and combat disciplines, along with any form of competition.<\/p>\n\n  <p>For these out-of-club activities, an individual sports policy taken out for a day, a weekend\n  or a month is the simplest answer. That is the logic behind\n  <a href=\"\/en\/trail-insurance\">trail running insurance<\/a>, <a href=\"\/en\/ski-insurance\">ski\n  insurance<\/a> or <a href=\"\/en\/mtb-insurance\">mountain bike insurance<\/a>: cover starts when you set\n  off, and not before.<\/p>\n\n  <!-- ============================ SECTION 4 ============================ -->\n  <h2>What if I train in a club or under a federation?<\/h2>\n\n  <h3>What the club must insure<\/h3>\n\n  <p>In most European countries, sports clubs, companies and federations are legally required to\n  hold <strong>civil liability cover<\/strong> for their activity, protecting the organisation, its\n  staff and volunteers, and its members. In France, this is set out in article L321-1 of the\n  <em>Code du sport<\/em>. So your club is insured for liability, and you are covered through it\n  during supervised sessions.<\/p>\n\n  <h3>What the club only has to offer you<\/h3>\n\n  <p>Personal injury is a different matter. French law (article L321-4 of the <em>Code du sport<\/em>)\n  requires federations and clubs to <strong>inform members of the value of personal accident\n  cover<\/strong> and to offer at least one policy. The verb matters: <em>offer<\/em>, not\n  <em>provide<\/em>. Signing up remains voluntary, and many members tick &#8220;I decline&#8221; without\n  realising what they are turning down.<\/p>\n\n  <h3>The limits of licence-included cover<\/h3>\n\n  <p>Where accident cover is genuinely included in a licence, three checks are worth making:<\/p>\n\n  <ul>\n    <li><strong>The limits.<\/strong> A disability lump sum of a few thousand euros does not replace\n    a lost career. Compare it against a dedicated policy.<\/li>\n    <li><strong>The scope.<\/strong> A licence covers the licensed discipline within federation\n    activities. A personal outing, cross-training or a training camp abroad may fall outside.<\/li>\n    <li><strong>Rescue costs.<\/strong> Rarely covered at actual cost, even though mountain\n    helicopter rescue routinely runs into several thousand euros.<\/li>\n  <\/ul>\n\n  <p>Many licensed athletes therefore take out individual sports insurance <strong>in addition\n  to<\/strong> their licence, not instead of it.<\/p>\n\n  <!-- ============================ SECTION 5 ============================ -->\n  <h2>Which insurance for high-risk sports?<\/h2>\n\n  <p>This is the breaking point. As soon as your discipline steps outside &#8220;mainstream&#8221; sport,\n  generalist policies close their doors. That typically includes:<\/p>\n\n  <ul>\n    <li><strong>Motorsport<\/strong>: motocross, <a href=\"\/en\/karting-insurance\">karting<\/a>, quad\n    biking, rally, downhill MTB.<\/li>\n    <li><strong>Air sports<\/strong>: <a href=\"\/en\/skydiving-insurance\">skydiving<\/a>, paragliding,\n    wingsuit, aerobatics.<\/li>\n    <li><strong>Mountain sports<\/strong>: mountaineering, <a href=\"\/en\/climbing-insurance\">climbing<\/a>,\n    ski touring, ice climbing.<\/li>\n    <li><strong>Underwater sports<\/strong>: scuba diving, freediving, caving.<\/li>\n    <li><strong>Combat sports<\/strong>: <a href=\"\/en\/boxing-insurance\">boxing<\/a>, MMA, martial arts\n    where a knockout can end the bout.<\/li>\n  <\/ul>\n\n  <p>Two mistakes come up again and again. First, assuming travel insurance or credit-card cover\n  will take over abroad: these explicitly exclude such activities. Second, assuming\n  <strong>competition<\/strong> is covered like training. It almost always requires a separate\n  extension.<\/p>\n\n  <p>A specialist individual sports policy settles both points, provided you check three lines in\n  the schedule: the <strong>named discipline<\/strong>, <strong>competition use<\/strong> where\n  relevant, and the <strong>geographical area<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n  <!-- ============================ SECTION 6 ============================ -->\n  <h2>Medical certificates: what changed in France in 2022<\/h2>\n\n  <p>If you play in France, note that <strong>Law no. 2022-296 of 2 March 2022<\/strong> substantially\n  relaxed pre-participation medical screening:<\/p>\n\n  <ul>\n    <li><strong>Minors<\/strong> no longer need a certificate; a completed\n    <strong>health questionnaire<\/strong> is enough, unless one answer is positive, in which case\n    a medical consultation is required.<\/li>\n    <li><strong>Adults<\/strong> no longer need a certificate to obtain or renew a licence at\n    national level. Each federation&#8217;s medical commission may still require one.<\/li>\n    <li><strong>Disciplines with specific constraints<\/strong> (article D231-1-5 of the\n    <em>Code du sport<\/em>) still require a certificate less than a year old. These include scuba\n    diving, combat sports allowing a knockout, disciplines using firearms or air weapons,\n    competitive motorsport, disciplines using an aircraft, mountaineering, caving and rugby.<\/li>\n  <\/ul>\n\n  <p class=\"axeo-callout\">Do not conflate the two subjects: not needing a certificate does not mean\n  you are insured, and holding insurance does not exempt you from a certificate where the discipline\n  requires it. Always check your federation&#8217;s rules for the current season.<\/p>\n\n  <!-- ============================ SECTION 7 ============================ -->\n  <h2>How to choose your individual sports insurance<\/h2>\n\n  <p>Six criteria are enough to separate the offers.

Clubs and federations, however, are required to make you\n  aware of it and to offer a policy: in France, under article L321-4 of the <em>Code du sport<\/em>.\n  Only the club&#8217;s civil liability cover is compulsory.<\/p>\n\n  <h3>Isn&#8217;t my federation licence enough?<\/h3>\n  <p>It is a starting point, rarely a complete answer. Accident cover bundled into a licence\n  usually carries modest limits, is restricted to the licensed discipline, and handles rescue and\n  repatriation costs poorly. An individual policy takes over on those three points.<\/p>\n\n  <h3>Does my home insurance cover sports injuries?<\/h3>\n  <p>No. The personal liability cover in a home policy pays for damage you cause to others, not for\n  injuries you suffer. It also tends to exclude high-risk sports and competition.<\/p>\n\n  <h3>Will my health plan reimburse a sports accident?<\/h3>\n  <p>It reimburses treatment eligible under your health scheme, within its own limits. It does not\n  pay a disability lump sum, does not fund a helicopter evacuation and does not replace lost\n  income.<\/p>\n\n  <h3>Can I insure myself for a single day?<\/h3>\n  <p>Yes. Individual sports insurance can be taken out for a day, a weekend, a trip or a full year,\n  which fits a one-off race, raid or training camp.<\/p>\n\n  <h3>Are high-risk sports insurable?<\/h3>\n  <p>Yes, through a specialist policy. Motorsport, air sports, underwater and combat disciplines\n  are excluded from most generalist contracts but fall within the scope of insurance dedicated to\n  sport.<\/p>\n\n  <h3>Am I covered abroad?<\/h3>\n  <p>It depends on the territory you select (France, Europe or worldwide) and on the excluded\n  zones. Countries in conflict are excluded as a rule.<\/p>\n\n  <!-- ============================ INTERNAL LINKS ============================ -->\n  <h2>Go further<\/h2>\n  <ul class=\"axeo-liens\">\n    <li><a href=\"\/en\/our-formulas\">Our sports insurance plans<\/a><\/li>\n    <li><a href=\"\/en\/sports-list\">The 400+ sports we cover<\/a><\/li>\n    <li><a href=\"\/en\/qa\">All your questions about sports insurance<\/a><\/li>\n    <li><a href=\"\/en\/club-registration\">Insuring the members of a club or association<\/a><\/li>\n    <li><a href=\"\/en\/custom-contract\">Tailored cover for a sports event<\/a><\/li>\n  <\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You run, you climb, you ride, you dive.
