Life is filled with risks. Some of these risks end up becoming everyday occurrences such as crossing the street at a busy intersection. Certainly, a person could get hit by a car, but several safety factors have been put into place – marked crosswalks, crossing signals for pedestrians, red lights for cars – that help spare him/her from that fate. Then there are other risks, like skydiving or mountain climbing, which are less than everyday occurrences and are considered to be more than just a little dangerous. Often, people who undertake these more unpredictable risks are considered to be adrenaline junkies. Seeking a thrill is their identity, but at what cost?
Adrenaline junkies understand how hard it can be to find a life insurance policy that meets the needs of their lifestyle and their budget. In a traditional life insurance policy, applicants are required to answer questions about high-risk activities such as skydiving. However answering “yes” to the high-risk activity questions does not necessarily mean that the application will be denied. There are a few different scenarios for adrenaline seekers looking for a traditional life insurance plan.
An adrenaline seeker may appreciate this type of insurance coverage. With a simplified issue life insurance plan there are no medical questions and very few, if any, questions about skydiving or other risky activities. The important qualifying factors for a simplified life insurance plan are the applicants age and gender. Typically, the one question asked is whether the applicant is a smoker or non-smoker. There are a few other things to consider before an applicant uses a simplified issue life insurance plan to insure his or her risky lifestyle.
In the past, avid skydiving enthusiasts had a hard time finding life insurance coverage that met their needs. Today, this is not the case. By working with a qualified life insurance agent even the biggest adrenaline junkies can find a way to provide for their loved ones after they are gone.
