I wonder why we do not insist that trampers on their own have their own personal insurance policy before they depart on those jaunts which, if they become unstuck, cost an awful lot of money and inconvenience to an amazing amount of people.
Perhaps it is just because such a policy would be too simple.

All should have insurance for their choices

All persons should be required to have personal insurance relevant to their chosen activities. EG: Swimmers (not home owners) should pay for surf live saver services, The Tauranga based TrustPower TECT Rescue Helicopter was called out to Mayor Island off the coast of Tauranga where a 31 year old Katikati man had fallen on rocks while setting cray pots. He received a deep laceration to his right wrist. Who got the crays?

Interesting concept, someone in a car crash badly injured, "have you got insurance ?" if the answer is "yes" then all is ok, If the answer is "no" then what do they do? what about the Hypocratic oath to save life at any cost?
