The show is called "Body of Evidence" and I to asked that question (to the airspace in my living room) when I saw that. Knowing the insurance companies, it probably is. Unless, of course you pay A LOT more.

There are quite a few insurance companies that won't write a policy for you if you "engage in dangerous activities", as they put it.
Flying, auto racing, and rodeo are three that I know for sure are what my insurance co lists as dangerous. Other companies have different definitions though.
Heck, going by that definition those same insurance companies shouldn't write a policy for ANY licensed driver since statistically driving more dangerous than GA...but just try telling that to your average insurance agent.

There are companies out there that do understand general aviation and will write a policy with that in the terms but they're not in the norm. If you check with AOPA, they can get you a list of companies that are flying friendly.

I don't watch TV any more. Can't handle the commercials. But when Dana Delany's tv show, "Body of Proof" makes it to DVDs, then I will get it.

She is a babe!!!!

Yes this is true, I had this as a young Hobbit when I was involved with the Civil air patrol (cadet) at 16-17 years old.. There was a issue with my fathers GM health/life insurance..
I got very sick and was in the hospital and the insurance discovered I was in training to solo, and they had a fit.. Dad's union got it sorted out..
But, becuse of this I had to drop out before I got my full ratings, I did solo a few weeks later after I was well..Dad, had a fit. this did end my pilot training..Bummer..

Jerry Ryan.....

*sigh*

I have life insurance....term life.....I have a pilot's license.

And, when I used to ride my HD Softail all over the counryside?

Insurance was no problem.

I also used to jump out of airplanes with a ton of crap strapped to me with about 40 -60 of my closest friends in the middle of the night from about 1000 ft AGL.

Had insurance then too.

But, after I admitted to smoking a cigar. Insurance company threatened to cancel my policy. Had to prove I quit.
