INSURANCE REGISTRATION FOR TANDEM PARAGLIDING PASSENGERS

It has come to our attention that since September 2020, an operator of a paragliding site in Kuala Kubu Bharu has been claiming to have an insurance coverage for their tandem paragliding passengers.

The said “insurance coverage” was reported to be the operator’s own self-managed claims from the fee paid by passengers for any accidents or incidents caused by paragliding activity and upon our investigation, we discovered and confirming that THEY ARE NOT providing an actual insurance coverage from Pacific & Orient Insurance Co. Berhad or from any legal insurance companies in Malaysia.

We hope this clarification would clear any misconception or misunderstanding with regards to paragliding passenger insurance coverage, in terms of its legality and whether they are affiliated with PGMY for insurance products.
