There seems to be a fairly obvious 'logic crisis' here. Can anyone shed any light on the apparent contradiction?
How can you be a customer of Essential Travel if you're not wearing a helmet? |
Quite obvious.. you don't care or you didn't read the small print and was blissfully unaware until surveyed after you returned from your trip. Just as there's folk driving cars with undeclared modifications, people will ski without helmets and just not care.

Well, it says:

No helmet, No insurance
This year, our message is clear – it is now compulsory that you wear a helmet whilst participating in winter sports activities to be fully covered by our fantastic winter sports travel insurance policies. |
So, if only 77% of their customers wear one, that means 23% aren't (Maths A-level not wasted) and, presumably, they aren't insured  Has anyone told them?

Should the headline then not be: "23% of customers ripped off in insurance mis-selling scandal"?
Do these helmet clad happy people actually get cheaper premiums?

Perhaps the other 23% took insurance with another insurer as well. But also note you need a helmet "to be fully covered by our fantastic winter sports travel insurance policies", so it is not really compulsory (maybe just cheaper).

Even if I wore a helmet I wouldn't use them on principle.

You know it makes sense.

Oh, well spotted, it's the "leg binding" people.
HEY useless journalist people - there's a story for ya! Insurance company attempts to manipulate data with moronic questionnaire and achieves little other than to demonstrate that they've no idea at all about the sports they're trying to market to. The fact that they're supposed to be assessing our risk seems somewhat concerning. Leg bindings, give me strength.

philwig, yes and the immortal question we've all been burning to ask:

| Do you carry avalanche equipment (spade, gadgets to help you be found etc) with you? |
"found etc" presumably means found or not found

Nina Montgomery and/or Essential Travel - can anyone make sense of that gobbledegook - she says it is now compulsory that customers wear helmets but immediately below is a banner box saying get a 15% discount if you wear a helmet implying that there is an undiscounted price. I'm taking a punt that she's the same genius who posted the spade survey.

I'm beginning to feel I should avoid all non-essential travel and essential travel, in addition to avoiding helmets.
