List of bizarre claims headed by hair-raising encounter
Anyone who has done a ski season knows
that, at times, it can be a dangerous game, but you might be surprised
to see what some of the insurance companies claim is "bizarre" or
"amusing". Chances are you have seen some pretty interesting things
and heard of many more. If you have had injured clients or the misfortune
to have been injured you might be interested in this:
British skier 'attacked by a goat'
An insurance company has published a list of its most bizarre claims
by British skiers - and top of the list is a tourist who says he
was attacked by a mountain goat while practicing his jumps.
Don't lick the icebergs…
The list, published by AXA PPP, also includes a skier who got stuck
to a ski lift when he grabbed it without wearing gloves, and a learner
skier who hit an icy patch, fell over - and managed to stab himself
with his ski pole.
Bizarre and strange?
Another skier was left unconscious when a snowball fight got out
of control and he was hit on the head, while according to the online
news provider Ananova, which reports the survey, one female holidaymaker
managed to ruin her holiday before she even got as far as the ski
lift. The woman fell and broke her wrist just yards from her hotel
on the first day of her holiday.
A spokesman for AXA PPP told Ananova: "This
has been a bumper ski season and it stands to reason that more skiers
leads to more bizarre claims."

Golly, someone could break an ankle on the way home from the pub!
Or hurt their wrist, or prang their car....
