If I join the BMC do I get any kind of insurance included?
I'm really naive about what happens in the case of an accident.
If, for example, I fall off Stanage tomorrow, break my fall with my face and am airlifted out, who pays for the helicopter and hospital bills? Would there be any difference if I were a BMC member or not?
To extend this a little - Not learning from my previous faceplant, I go off sport climbing in Kalymnos, forget to double back my figure of 8 and plummet to the ground. Again, what would be the situation if I were to be airlifted out/hospitalised?
I've never really considered this before but am now starting to push myself on climbs that I am not confident I can onsight so have been thinking about it more and more recently.
Thanks for any help, I have looked at the BMC website and found an insurance page but am now unclear as to what is covered by BMC membership (if anything!)
