Summer sports could lead to injury
28 June 2006  Televised sporting events will inspire normally sedentary Britons to try out a number of sports over the summer and during their holidays, Barclays Insurance predicts.

Figure from Barclays Insurance reveal that the average person, inspired by events such as the World Cup and Wimbledon, will pay out around £200 on sports equipment and participation this year.

Whether people have adequate holiday insurance or not, it is predicted that many people will choose to get active in their time off work, with many armchair sports enthusiasts risking injury in their summer-inspired sporting zeal.

Marketing Director for Barclays Insurance, Mark Till, commented: "Many of us spend most of our sporting life sat on the couch watching sport on the TV, but at this time of the year we dip in our pockets to buy new equipment, join clubs and then expect to see a brilliant return for our investment.

"However, broken equipment and pulled muscles are more often the outcome."

Travellers heading into Europe, whether with football or tennis or even golf in mind, are warned not to use the new EHIC card, which replaced the old E111 form, in place of travel insurance, but to ensure they are covered for all eventualities.
