Why is pole vault insurance essential?

The pole vault chains a fast run-up, a pole plant, an inverted swing and a flight several metres above the ground before landing on the mat. This height and the risk of a missed vault expose the whole body, and a broken pole, a badly controlled landing or a miss causes fractures, head trauma, sprains and contusions. Even in training, the exposure of each attempt takes its toll. A federation licence and standard contracts cover these accidents poorly, and the costs of care and rehabilitation add up.

A dedicated personal accident insurance takes over: medical costs, care, rehabilitation and disability are covered according to your guarantees, in training and in World Athletics competition. You can progress with a free mind.
