🌀 Indoor Skydiving 室內跳傘保險入門(CA・TX・FL・NY)|風洞 × 意外 × Waiver × 保險完整指南

Indoor Skydiving(室內跳傘,又稱風洞飛行)看起來安全許多,沒有真正跳傘的「高空墜落」風險,但仍屬於高風險活動之一,原因包括:

  • 風洞風力強,容易被吹飛撞牆
  • 落地姿勢不正造成扭傷
  • 教練放手太早 → 失控旋轉
  • 手腕、肩膀因反作用力受傷
  • 初學者撞上牆面或風洞柱子

這些都會產生醫療費用,因此「保險會不會賠?」是多數旅客常見的問題。


🔹 1. Indoor Skydiving 算不算 Extreme Sport?

大部分保險公司:不算真正跳傘(Skydiving)。

但它仍屬於高風險運動,因此:

  • 一些基本旅遊保險會賠
  • 一些會要求加購 Adventure Sports Rider

建議出發前務必確認:

我的保單中,Indoor Skydiving 是否涵蓋?


🔹 2. 活動業者的保險 vs. 你自己的保險

業者通常提供:

  • General Liability(商業責任險) —— 保護業者
  • Waiver(免責書) —— 限制你求償

你需要的保險:

  • Travel Medical(旅遊醫療)
  • Adventure Sports Rider(若保單排除風洞)
  • Personal Accident(個人意外)

避免發生意外後高額自費。


🔹 3. Waiver 免責書有效嗎?

你一定會被要求簽 Waiver。Waiver 的效力通常包括:

  • 承認風洞存在風險
  • 承認若受傷不得要求業者賠償
  • 承認你身體狀況適合參加

有效,但不是百分之百。

以下情況仍可追究業者責任:

  • 風力設定錯誤(速度過強)
  • 教練操作不當、放手太早
  • 設備維修失職
  • 未遵守安全 SOP(重大過失)

🔹 4. 四州差異(CA・TX・FL・NY)

加州 CA

  • iFLY 連鎖最多,SOP 最標準化
  • 責任賠償金額高 → 建議有 Travel Medical

德州 TX

  • 私人風洞較多、規範略有差異
  • 建議確認是否排除高風險活動

佛州 FL

  • 觀光風洞多,旺季事故率較高
  • 夏天高溫 → 心血管疾病需特別注意

紐約 NY

  • NYC 與 Upstate 風洞都有
  • 冬季遊客多,注意場地排隊與設備使用率

🔹 5. 最常見 5 種 Indoor Skydiving 傷害

  • 手腕扭傷
  • 肩膀拉傷
  • 膝蓋落地撞擊
  • 風力撞牆造成瘀傷
  • 初學者旋轉失控

🔹 6. 哪些情況不賠?(保險常見排除)

  • 醉酒參加活動
  • 心臟病、高血壓未如實申報
  • 違反教練指示(硬撐或硬衝)
  • 幼童未達年齡限制硬要入場
  • 明顯危險動作(翻轉、硬撞牆)

🔹 7. 結論:室內跳傘雖安全,但仍需要 2–3 種保險

  • 旅遊醫療(基本)
  • Adventure Sports Rider(若保單排除風洞)
  • 個人意外(補強身故/後遺)

室內跳傘比真正跳傘安全太多,但依然要注意身體狀況、設備風力與教練指示。


🌀 Indoor Skydiving Insurance Guide (CA・TX・FL・NY)|What’s Covered, Waivers & Common Risks

Indoor skydiving (wind tunnel flight) feels safer than real skydiving because there is no free fall, but it is still considered a high-risk activity due to wind-force impact, falling, loss of control, and collisions.


1. Is indoor skydiving an extreme sport?

Most insurers do not treat indoor skydiving as true skydiving, but many still classify it as “higher risk.”

Depending on your plan:

  • Some travel medical plans cover it
  • Some require an Adventure Sports Rider

2. Operator insurance vs. your insurance

Operators usually carry:

  • General Liability Insurance — protects them, not you
  • A required waiver

You should have:

  • Travel Medical Insurance
  • Adventure Sports Rider (if your plan excludes wind tunnels)
  • Personal Accident Coverage

3. Are waivers enforceable?

You will sign a waiver. It is generally enforceable but not absolute.

You may still sue if the operator:

  • Sets wind speed incorrectly
  • Releases you too early
  • Uses poorly maintained equipment
  • Shows gross negligence

4. State differences

California (CA)

Strict standards; iFLY centers numerous; higher liability exposure.

Texas (TX)

Private tunnels vary in rules; check exclusions carefully.

Florida (FL)

Tourism-heavy; seasonal injury spikes.

New York (NY)

NYC and Upstate both have wind tunnels; heavy winter use.


5. Common indoor skydiving injuries

  • Wrist sprains
  • Shoulder strain
  • Knee impact
  • Wind-force collisions with walls
  • Loss of control in beginners

6. When insurance will NOT pay

  • Alcohol or drugs
  • Undisclosed heart or blood pressure conditions
  • Ignoring instructor instructions
  • Not meeting age or size requirements
  • Intentional risky maneuvers

7. Final thoughts

Indoor skydiving is safer than real skydiving, but still risky. Combine Travel Medical + Adventure Sports Rider for solid coverage.
