title: [Hazardous sports and insurance].
abstract: In spite of increased efforts in the prevention of recreational accidents the SUVA has to state that, as before, there is a steady increase in non-occupational accidents. 33% of all non-occupational accidents are caused through sport. Preventive measures and optimum patient treatment are effective moves to limit the costs. Shortening the financial benefits in heavy-risk sports (hazardous ventures) or in grave infringement of elementary cautionary obligations (gross negligence) should aim less at a cost saving than at an overall preventive effect.
