Summer Tubing, Alpine Slide — Serious Fun, Serious Risk
Insurance for Summer Tubing and Alpine Slides
The wind in your hair, the speed, the exhilaration! Summer tubing and Alpine slides bring out the kid in everyone. Imagine sitting in a tube that sends you down a hill at speeds reaching 30 mph. Now imagine an Alpine slide — a ski resort’s way of making the best out of the warm weather — sending you off in a wheeled cart that rolls over a smooth track. Serious fun, yes, but serious risk for the resort owner.
In 2015, a Berks County, Pennsylvania jury awarded a multimillion-dollar payout in a snow tubing accident at Bear Creek Mountain Resort and Conference Center. In another case, a plaintiff sued Attitash Bear Peak Resort, in Bartlett, New Hampshire for injuries after his sled left the alpine sled track. Could this be your resort? Could you afford litigation against your business if there’s an accident or injury — or worse?
Of course, your guests sign waivers that cover high speed, collisions in and beyond the lane, and leaving the lane and slipping and falling. That’s your first line of defense, but it’s simply not enough. You need specialty liability insurance from XINSURANCE.
