I wouldnt ski outside of the UK without insurance but I just think it will go up in cost a lot but like car insurance we will find the money to pay for it !
Last year my boss actually tried to ban me from going skiing saying I was putting myself in danger of getting injured and therefore being off work sick and I shouldnt go ! hmmmmm ridiculous |
Isn't this analogous to banning you form having sex on the grounds you might become pregnant?

A previous employer of mine had a 'quiet' word with me about skiing and riding a motorcycle. It went something along the lines of how I couldn't be 100% committed to my career if I was prepared to willingly endanger myself. Needless to say I didn't take much notice, although I was made redundant shortly afterwards...
I've never been paid for sick leave due to an accident, just sick leave due to sickness. I think that's quite common these days, hence why income protection insurance has become so commonplace...
And there are some employers who still prefer not to employ women in case of the maternity leave thing. They might not say it, but you can be damn well sure it's at the back of their minds when interviewing a young woman, especially if she's recently married...

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

My g/f, being off child bearing age (mid-20's) and recently moved in with me, found her self made redundant in a company made up of something like 98% men, had thought for a while before being made redundant, that the company might try something like that. However, very difficult to prove in a court of law...

Helen LS, if your that indispensible to the company they should take out 'key man' insurance on you then they have their own cover should anything happen to you.
