Luging Travel Insurance:

Luging is traditionally a winter sport for which either one or two people travel down an ice track on a sled known as a luge, feet first. However, the sport can also be done on a street or road surface.

Popular areas:

As luging is traditionally a winter sport, it tends to take place in countries with a cold climate that is able to sustain the conditions necessary to luge in, including the ice track.

The countries include:

• Switzerland - Weather in Switzerland
• Austria - Weather in Austria
• North America - Weather in North America
• Canada - Weather in Canada
• Germany - Weather in Germany
• Latvia - Weather in Latvia
• Italy - Weather in Italy
• Britain - Weather in Britain
• Russia - Weather in Russia

However, it is also possible to do luging on a road surface, meaning that it is possible to now do the sport in countries that do not have the cold winter climate.

This is known as street luging.

Common injuries:

Luging is an extreme sport and it is easy to sustain an injury through taking part in it.

Injuries occur most frequently to the limbs and the torso.

However, due to the high speed at which the luge travels down the track, falling off of the luge can cause more serious injuries or even prove fatal for the rider.

Some of the most common injuries from luging are:

• Lacerations
• Abrasions
• Contusions
• Fractures
• Broken bones

If you want to go luging whilst on holiday, it is therefore vital that you purchase travel insurance that covers the sport.
