I had to get insured for demos. But if I didn't I never would. Healthcare is free in this country and insurance will add up to a lot of money over the years and I'd personally rather spend it on an ipod... car... house... (not sure what comes after house, but it would be lots of years of insurance lol).

The counter-argument of course is that being slapped with a law-suit is expensive! So, if you want to do shows then yes you NEED it. If you're clumsy and have lots of money then why not. But otherwise, no, it's not essential as such. Not a bad idea. But not essential.

Everyone's dreams sit aloft a rungless ladder. Some ladders are higher than others. Some are so tall they reach high above the clouds - but everyone can see their dream. Most people see that their ladder has no rungs and although they may talk about climbing it one day, seeing no way to get there, they eventually give up and settle for what lies beneath it.
      The brave however, the wise, the imaginative and the strong of will seek out their missing rungs. They learn all they can about the ladder, they surround themselves with friends and family who would also find the rungs, and failing all else they craft the steps themselves with their own two hands from nothing. Sometimes a rung breaks and the person falls. Some of these people will fall too hard and lose the strength to climb again - Yet they feel comfort in knowing they tried. They became better for it. And they experienced things and witnessed sights upon the climb that those who sat forever beneath it will never know.
      Then there are the special few who find new steps, or fix and climb again the ones that failed. Who eventually, through sheer tenacity and courage come to reach the final rung - Only they will have their dreams fulfilled. The extraordinary then build new ladders. These are the strongest people of all.

PLi is a must have, it is not just the cost of providing medical care for anyone you may injure but is also needed to cover litigation costs.

Just gone thru the process. Cannot remember what the costs were but around £30,000 for a minor injury.

Healthcare is not the issue, if someone is injured then there is the additional aftercare that is required and also you then get into losss of potential earnings etc if it is serious. For example if you fell on a child and injured an arm so that ther was limited movement you can be into serious money. The reason £5m is now quoted by organisers as a minimum requirement is because they are now being sued for this amount on a regular basis.  Cannot tell you exact circumstances but recently I have seen a serious arm/elbow injury be settled at £3m+

well if you think about it, even £100 a year is peanuts to most people, and a moderate amounmt to the really poor students, it's like £2 a week


what's the best place for one to aquire some :D
