Why do you need travel insurance for bobsleigh?

As well as being interesting and exiting kind of sport, bobsleigh is risky enough. Team members can stumble while accelerating the sled and get some traumas hitting the ice track or the sled. They can get cuts, bruises, dislocations and fractures after such mere accident. But the risk increases when the team gets inside the sled and performs complex manoeuvres on a winding track. According to the rules, the sled should not touch the track walls and the turns should be really smooth. Unfortunately, there are numerous cases when the sled hits the ice at very high speed, turns over and rolls many times till it finally stops. Such crashes seriously harm the team members’ necks and heads as well as the rest of their bodies.
