I think it does have a 'difference'.
They do have "Extreme Insurance"
Extreme Sports Insurance - Patriot Extreme Benefits
What I am talking about is the 'stupid' accidents that kids and/or adults have like skateboard accidents, or getting shot with a pellet gun or BB-gun .... then getting those claims paid by 'normal' health insurance that is designed for illnesses, auto accidents, etc.
When insurance compaines pay for these types of claims ... it keeps 'normal' insurance costs higher, right? If they are going to do this kind of activity should they not have "extreme insurance" coverage to cover it?
I don't know - that is why I am asking.
