Tobogganing Travel Insurance:

Tobogganing is an activity for which people descend snow covered slopes on a sled.

Popular areas:

Tobogganing is a sport that originated in Canada, where toboggans were used as a form of transport.

It is now an activity that is most popular in countries that are cold enough to provide snow seasonally.

These include:

• Austria - Weather in Australia
• Switzerland - Weather in Switzerland
• France - Weather in France
• Germany - Weather in Germany
• Canada - Weather in Canada
• United States of America - Weather in United States of America

However, it is now also increasing in popularity in areas such as the United Kingdom, which are seeing a greater snow fall each year.

Common injuries:

Tobogganing is a popular activity that can be enjoyed by people of all ages.

However, a fall from a toboggan can cause serious injury.

Injuries can occur from tobogganing as a result of a fall or collision (either with inanimate objects such as trees and rocks or with another person on a toboggan).

For this reason, it is important to make sure you purchase travel insurance before leaving the country if you wish to go tobogganing whilst on holiday.

To help prevent injury you can:

• Make sure children wear a helmet
• Find a slope that does not have any trees or rocks around or on it
• Do not sled down too icy a slope as this will affect your ability to stop
• Climb up the hill out of the path of other people on toboggans
• Find a good, sturdy toboggan
