Their mission is simple – to save lives.
Global Rescue is the world’s leading provider for Travel risk; Medical advisory; Field rescue and Security extraction. Founded in 2004, GR has exclusive relationships for Emergency & Medical services worldwide.

In our sport of Hang gliding and Paragliding, accidents can and do happen. If you are participating in an event from Airtribune chances are you are far from home. Rescue and Repatriation is essential.

GR have partnered with Airtribune to offer a package that will see you rescued, put in to medical care, and then repatriated to a hospital of your choosing in your home country. For the rescue and repatriation aspects, you will not have to get your credit card out, up to a maximum of 450,000* Euro coverage. You can travel with the knowledge you are covered, anywhere in the world for the most worrying part of your adventure. More importantly, GR Membership covers events and competitions. Be aware, the cover will not pay your medical bills in the hospital. It is strictly relating to the Rescue from the accident to the hospital (but with any medical aspects of the rescue being covered), and for the repatriation to your home country when you later leave hospital (again with the medical aspects of the journey being covered).

GR is not an Insurance policy, but a member policy. We recommend the Travel policy, for 7, 14, 30 days or 1 year, which typically costs between $119 and $319 USD.

GR additionally offer Travel Insurance from IMG Insurance for the more regular aspects of travel such as medical costs, baggage, holiday cover etc. However be aware this Insurance currently does NOT cover Competitions, only general flying holidays. So ensure the IMG option suits you before adding that option to the membership.

Cloudbase Mayhem, by Gavin McClurg, also has excellent advice, updated regularly, on his website for what cover will work best for most circumstances.
