My carrier will not insure me for the sport. Requires a separate rider...any
of you guys find a good reasonable insurance carrier for our sport?

What kind of insurance?
Health/Medical
Life
Liability

Life seems to be the hardest to get, and liability is getting more expensive
(according to what we're told by USPA).

Subject: Medical insurance for skydivers

American family Insurance will give you health/medical insurance knowing
that you are a skydiver.
Not having life insurance, I do not know their policy on that for a
skydiver.

They were also the only company that would insure my home built
travel/video production trailer.
(for $18K)

They seem like a very informed company.

Check them out, good luck,

Most companies will put a rider in stating that if you are killed
while skydiving then they dont pay. USPA worked out an agrement for a
group ADD police for from $25K up to $100K. The $100K costs $240/year
(billed quartley) and the $25K coverage is only $60.00/year. This is
a comprehensive plan and pays if anything happens (i.e. a car
accident) provided it is not a pre-existing condition.
The # to call to get info is 1-877-535-2682 and it is called the
"USPA AD&D Plan"

I have life insurance with Prudential. I had a policy before I started
jumping. My agent said I am covered because the policy was in effect before
I started. A number of years ago, I wanted to increase my coverage.
Prudential asked what my credentials were (D license, hundreds of jumps, and
several instructional ratings). They issued the new policy at the same rate
as a non-jumper with no riders or skydiving exclusion.
