Understanding Extreme Sports
Extreme sports can involve higher speeds, challenging terrain, increased physical demands and a greater risk of injury than some recreational activities.
Activities vary considerably, and the level of risk will depend on the sport, environment and individual circumstances. People involved in extreme sports may wish to consider protection options that could provide financial support following a covered accident or illness, subject to policy terms and conditions.
