broken jaw and a fractured cheekbone
A rugby sevens tournament in Hong Kong gave me a broken jaw and a fractured cheekbone after a high tackle that should have been a red card. The impact was so hard that I bit through my tongue and swallowed a mouthful of blood before I hit the ground. The hospital in Hong Kong wired my jaw shut for six weeks and charged me twenty-two thousand dollars for the privilege. My travel insurance refused to pay because rugby was “inherently dangerous” and therefore not covered under a standard policy. The insurance agent on the phone told me I should have purchased a separate rider. I told him I would never purchase anything from his company again. sports travel insurance covers rugby from touch to tackle, from sevens to fifteens, from casual to competitive. The jaw healed, the wires came out, and I can eat solid food again. The only thing that still hurts is the memory of that phone call.
