Question: Why should airsoft players have Third Party Liability Insurance?

Answer:

Club activities involving  shooters / re-enactors / skiers / drivers / riders etc. require Third Party Liability Insurance in general.  

The Government requires any form of re-enactment with Real Imitation Firearms to be insured. 

According to the VCR Act 2006/07. THEIR STATEMENT "The regulations also specify the persons who can claim the defence for historical re-enactment. This is restricted to those organising ie: (Airsoft Sites) or taking part ie: (Players) in re-enactment activities for which third party liability insurance is held." 

​

Re-enactment, as per the Cambridge Dictionary "an occasion on which people re-enact an event".

Logically if you are dressed as a military combatant using a Realistic Imitation Firearm whilst war gaming you could definitely be classed as a military re-enactor in some form or other by any authority.

​

The word EXEMPT does NOT APPEAR in relation to airsoft in any Governmental / authoritative statement.

 

Therefore Third Party Liability Insurance should logically be applied to the airsoft community in relation to  the players.

​

THIRD PARTY LIABILITY INSURANCE 

Insures against a players negligence. ie: what he accidentally does wrong outside the restraints of the site rules.

​

Question: What does your insurance cover you for?

Answer:

With a maximum cover value of £10 million per claim, each member will be insured for

Third Party Liability insurance covering costs and damages to a Innocent Party caused by

the members negligence whilst engaged in any active airsoft pursuit.

​

Question: Who will provide my insurance?
