Insurance Blues

So, I have taken a few years off from rock climbing but I am aching to get back into it. The last 3 years I went back to school to get my MBA degree. I finished school this past year and have gotten a good job as a marketing manager for a company in Utah.

Unfortunately, the real world and my desire to climb have started to collide. Now that I have a family and a real job I decided it would be wise to establish some life insurance if (God forbid) something should happen to me. While starting the application process I learn that rock climb is consider a high risk activity and that I need to fill out a form so that my insurance company can evaluate my risk potential.

I can't help to think that this is just another way for the insurance company to stick it to me. When I think about rock climbing and the benefits that come with being physically fit, I have to believe that more people die on a daily basis from obesity than from rock climbing.
