It depends on the policy. Assault courses may be included as standard or available to add for an additional premium. Select the activity when getting your quote and check that it appears on your policy documents.
What type of assault course does this activity cover?
This activity is for courses without high ropes or other aerial elements. It can include ground-level obstacles involving running, crawling, balancing and climbing over or through structures.
Are high ropes included?
No. If the course includes high ropes, aerial obstacles or similar height-based challenges, you should select the assault course activity that specifically includes high ropes.
Are mud runs and obstacle races included?
Not automatically. Mud runs, obstacle races and branded events may be listed separately or subject to competition exclusions. Select the activity that most accurately matches the event.
Can I take part in a timed or competitive course?
Not necessarily. Some policies cover recreational assault courses but exclude organised, timed or competitive events. Check the applicable Policy Wording before entering.
Can medical expenses be covered if I am injured?
Emergency medical expenses can be covered if the correct assault course activity is included on your policy and the claim meets its terms and conditions.
Can I get cover if I have a medical condition?
Pre-existing medical conditions are considered separately from activity cover. Declare them when getting your quote, as cover is subject to medical screening and acceptance.
Cover is subject to the terms, conditions, limits and exclusions of your policy. Check the applicable Policy Wording and your policy documents before taking part.
