Skydiving Travel InsuranceLets You Soar Through The Clouds With Confidence

If you have a multi-destination itinerary, you can select every country.

There’s nothing like the rush of free-falling through the clouds, experiencing absolute freedom as the world unfolds beneath you. For many thrill-seekers, jumping out of a plane over the scenic landscapes of Key West, catching panoramic views of the Cascade Mountains in Snohomish, or experiencing the breathtaking desert vistas of Arizona are bucket-list adventures. But what happens if your flight gets cancelled or you sustain an injury during your jump?

See how Adventure Travel Insurance protects you and your high-flying trip, then select the best plan for you.

Why You Need Travel Insurance for Skydiving Trips

Skydiving is one of those adventures where factors beyond your control can come into play. Weather conditions might ground your jump. Flights may be delayed or cancelled. Your parachute system or other gear might get lost or damaged in transit. Or an awkward landing could result in a sprained ankle or worse. Protecting yourself becomes even more crucial if you plan to skydive in a remote location with limited medical facilities.


Travel insurance can reimburse you when things don't go according to plan. If an unforeseen event occurs—like a weather cancellation or damaged equipment—you can get reimbursed for prepaid, non-refundable expenses. Insurance also allows you to recapture those once-in-a-lifetime experiences if unexpected circumstances keep you on the ground.

Pro Tip: Always check the weather forecast for your skydiving destination and stay updated with U.S. government travel advisories and updates when traveling internationally.

What Skydiving Coverage Do You Need?

Whether you’re an experienced skydiver or taking to the air for the first time, travel insurance is an essential part of your pack list. The right skydiving travel insurance will help protect your once-in-a-lifetime trip from various risks (coverage and benefits will vary based on your chosen plan).

Here are some of the ways Detour covers skydiving trips:

  • Trip cancellation or interruption: Skydiving excursions can be costly, and you’ll want protection if you need to cancel or your trip gets delayed for any of the following reasons:
    • Illness or injury before the trip
    • Family emergency that requires cancellation or delay
    • Plane or transportation cancellations or delays
  • Emergency medical: A rough landing or unexpected turbulence can result in injuries ranging from minor to serious. Adventure travel insurance can:
    • Cover emergency medical treatment, hospital stays, and medication
    • Evacuation from remote locations and transport to a proper medical facility
  • Baggage protection: Specialized skydiving gear and cameras aren’t inexpensive. Travel insurance can reimburse you for:
    • Damaged equipment and gear
    • Lost or stolen bags and equipment
  • Sports equipment rentals: If the rig you’re renting is damaged or stolen, this coverage will help cover the cost

How Adventure Travel Insurance Protects Your Skydiving Trip

You've booked your dream skydiving trip to Arizona for the stunning desert landscapes, perfect visibility, and a week of adrenaline-pumping jumps. But early in your adventure, you have a hard landing that results in a broken ankle. The nearest medical facility is an hour away by car.


Without travel insurance, you're responsible for potentially thousands of dollars in medical costs, transportation to the clinic, and missed jumps or lodging. But with the right skydiving travel insurance, you're covered: emergency medical transport, treatment for your ankle injury, and even the extra nights of lodging while you recover.
