Third party insurance cover is included in your BPA Membership - the insurance premium forms part of the membership subscription.  The indemnity limit of the BPA insurance policy is £2m at BPA Affiliated Centres and £100,000 at overseas non-affiliated drop zones, excluding the USA where the policy does not apply.   The policy does not provide cover for instructor negligence at non-affiliated drop zones. 

Please note in particular that:

(i) (i) except for death and critical injury cover (see note below), BPA insurance does not include personal accident cover.  The BPA strongly recommends that all members who jump overseas should take out their own personal accident travel insurance policy which includes cover for skydiving, with repatriation to the UK in the event of an emergency.  It should include equipment and baggage cover.  See section 2 below.

(ii) BPA insurance cover does not apply at wind tunnels

(iii) BPA insurance cover for non-UK residents and/or citizens performing activities outside the UK applies only at BPA Affiliated Centres or as part of a BPA-Registered Diplay Team. 

Note:  New from 1 April 2009  BPA Members' insurance now also includes a separate policy giving £15K death and critical injury cover.
