I have just had a quote from intersure of £133.62 for £1 million public liability insurance and it includes kids rides providing guidelines stated are followed, guidelines seem to be signs on ride stating parents are responsible for childs safety and should be present while child riding etc, i have asked for the policy to be sent to me so i can check it over.

Cheers

Pete,

Do you think 1 Millinon is enough. You only have to get a kid with a severe brain injury and £2 million is peanuts.

Thanks,

A lot of my sites require 5 or 10 million minimum expecially councils.

is it possible for kids to get brain injuries from the kiddie rides? i thought they were pretty safe..

[Coin Operated Group]

Its when they climb on them it becomes a problem or get pushed out (becomes fell out :thumbdown:on a claim ) with snack & drinks vending the liability arises when they pull the machine onto themselves trying to get free drinks.

got a confession to make...was at the gym last night and the vending machine misvended, the bar didn't fall down and then it said "out of order"...so I gave it a little shake (nearly pulled it onto myself) and got the bar!

Just got off the phone to Simply and they have had to refund my policy. They have just been told by the underwriters that the company which provides the cover for them are unwilling to cover vending machine operators if someone knocks the machine over and either hurts themself or someone else. So basically if a kid runs into the machine and knocks the machine onto themselves YOU ARE NOT COVERED! The only time where you are covered is if you had installed the machine incorrectly and as a result it caused damage to someone else.

Time to phone the other company someone mentioned in a thread and see what the deal is there
