Crazy close plane miss

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to have a plane travelling at 200mph fly past you, just a couple of feet away?

Here you go!

The women filming this stunt must have had her wires crossed with the pilot, as the main focus of this idiotic manouvre was obviously the quad bike in the forefront of the picture. The women can be heard screaming as the plane whizzes past at speeds up to 200mph. Luckily nobody was hurt during the filming of this, but it could have gone oh so different.

Before you ask, no we will not be ensuring low flying stunt manouvres featuring quad bikes!

We do, however, do provide great off road and quad bike insurance – so get in touch today.

German Wacky Races

Janaury saw the 44th Bavarian Sled Racing Championships take place.

90 competitors took to the snow to compete in this traditional German adrenalin-fuelled race, in which thrill seekers use their ‘Hornschlitten’ (horned sledges) to propel themselves down the hill at speeds of up to 100KM per hour! I can envisige some bumps and bruises with this one.

If you decide to take up this rapid downhill sport, Ansell’s Extreme Activity Inusranse would be essential when hurtling down the hill in a Hornschlitten!

Don’t forget we also provide brilliant policies for skiing insurance, snowboard insurance and even snowmobile insurance.
