Default GA bias in "general" insurance?

Doesn't this seem a bit over the top? They didn't even have a general
"acts of God" exclusion, but anything to do with GA and you're out.


GA is far more dangerous than flying as a passenger on a commercial
airline. It is apparently dangerous enough that insurance companies
are sometimes worried about it. Ask Cory Lidle's family about it.

I visited someone in a complete care hospital for accident victims a few
years ago. According to him, the large majority of quadraplegic's there
were (like himself) victims of automobile accidents. The second category
was from gunshot wounds in city gang and drug wars (no exclusion on the
insurance policy for involvement in criminal activities). After this came
houshold accidents. No airplane accidents.


Visit the cemetery instead. Look for wealthy people who died young or
in good health, especially people who had to travel a great deal.
