Equipment Breakdown Insurance for bungee jump operators
Covers mechanical and electrical failure of your bungee jump system — winches, braking systems, control electronics, and power systems — plus business interruption while your operation is down for repair.
What it covers
- Mechanical failure of winches, cables, and hoisting mechanisms
- Braking and deceleration system failures
- Electrical failure and short circuits in control panels and safety electronics
- Generator and power distribution equipment failures
- Business interruption — lost revenue and continuing expenses during downtime
- Extra expenses to expedite repairs and minimize business interruption
Who it's for
- All bungee jump operators with mechanical bungee systems
- Mobile crane operators where equipment failure means losing an entire event
- Permanent venue operators whose daily revenue depends on operational uptime
- Operators with complex control systems and safety electronics
Why CCA
- Equipment breakdown coverage placed with carriers who understand bungee systems
- Business interruption limits matched to your event revenue profile
- Coverage for both mechanical and electrical failure without property exclusions
- Equipment inventory review to ensure all critical systems are covered
Common questions about equipment breakdown insurance
Property insurance covers external damage (fire, storm, vandalism). Equipment breakdown covers internal failure — mechanical breakdown, electrical failure, and operator error. They're complementary; property alone leaves a critical gap for mechanical failures that property policies explicitly exclude.
Most equipment breakdown policies include business interruption coverage — it pays for lost revenue and continuing expenses while your system is repaired. For fair and festival operators, a multi-day downtime can represent a large portion of the event's revenue.
We insure permanent bungee jump towers, mobile bungee crane operations, bridge jumping operations, and bungee jumping as part of multi-attraction adventure parks. Whether you operate one fixed tower or a mobile rig that travels to fairs and festivals across multiple states, we have programs for your operation.
Yes — bungee trampolines, bungee runs, and similar tethered bungee attractions have different risk profiles than vertical bungee jumping but can be insured under specialty recreational programs. Coverage forms differ; let us know the specific attractions you operate.
Prior accidents and claims are part of underwriting, but they don't necessarily disqualify you from coverage. Specialty extreme sports markets evaluate your safety record, equipment maintenance practices, staff training, and operational procedures when underwriting high-risk operations. Provide full loss history for the most accurate quote.
ASTM F24 committee standards, particularly ASTM F2970 for bungee jumping operations, establish safety benchmarks that carriers use in underwriting. Compliance with ASTM standards and state inspection requirements generally improves your insurability and can affect your premium. We work with carriers who understand the ASTM framework for bungee jump operations.
Your policy needs to cover incidents at the venues where you operate — not just your permanent location. Mobile bungee programs include coverage at all approved event locations, and venue certificates add event organizers and land-owners as additional insureds for the specific event dates.
Our programs are designed for US-based operations and domestic venues. For international coverage or US operators with foreign exposures, additional foreign liability coverage may be available through surplus lines carriers. Let us know your full geographic footprint when requesting a quote.
Most bungee jump operator programs can be quoted within one to three business days once we have complete underwriting information. Binding and certificate issuance typically happens same-day once you approve the quote. Rush certificates for imminent events are available — call us directly.
To quote a bungee jump operation we need: jump height and system specifications, annual participant count, states where you operate, jump location types (permanent venue vs. mobile/fair), years in operation, full loss run history for the past three to five years, and copies of any venue contracts specifying required insurance limits.
