Skydiving insurance, life insurance deal through xLife
In the past, life insurance was not an affordable option for skydivers because of the extreme pricing or exclusions. However life insurance should be a high priority for sky divers due to the obvious risk of death. Should the worst happen, the families of sky divers left behind are at risk of suffering financially.
Other extreme sports enthusiasts like parachutists and rock-climbers have also found themselves in the same predicament as life insurance companies tended to classify them under the same umbrella as skydivers; while the situation for base-jumpers was even worse.
However xLife has recently negotiated affordable life insurance rates for skydivers and similar occupations and past-times. This skydiving insurance deal has been struck with two of Australia's top life insurance companies.

- Experience and training
