Do any of you have accident insurance? A thread on Tri Talk got me to thinking:

What would happen if you had a really bad accident during an event. Let's say you had to be out of work for a few weeks/months. I have life insurance, and great medical insurance, but accident insurance?...nope. I'm not sure what USAT offers as far as coverage, but I have to assume it's not much...I have 2-3 weeks of vacation/sick leave saved up, but what if that's not enough?

We never think about these things, and I never hear ppl talk much about them...

I'd like to hear from some of you...

You can check into disability insurance.   It covers you if you permenatly injure yourself and can't work.  It's pricey because you are far more likely to need it then life insurance at our age.

For being out of work a few weeks or months...

I was going to say the same thing...I would look into short-term disability insurance.  that is insurance for if you have to take time off because you can't work, but you aren't permanently injured.  i know my job offers that option for insurance if you want to opt in.

Seriously, I do not have disability insurance and instead realy upon healthcare coverage.  Training to me equates to the hazards of life ... and life is hard to avoid
