For some people, the idea of working in an office and sitting at a desk doing paperwork is their ultimate nightmare. These people are not programmed to want or hold a nine to five job. Instead they want to go out and pick a career full of adventure, excitement and most of all, danger.

It’s about living life to the extreme with these people. They love the risks involved in their work and allows them to feel they are living life to the full. In Thailand, there are a number of crocodile wrestlers. The thrill involved in their work doesn’t only involve full on wrestling with the crocs, but sticking their limbs and head between the jaws. Bearing in mind these jaws can snap shut in a matter of seconds and rip off a limb with relative ease, there is a measure of risk involved in the job. The employer of the zoo has to have employers liability insurance. The same can be said for matadors, who purposely taunt and enrage a bull that can weigh over 2000lbs, or lion trainers, whose job description involves trying to gain control of the king of the jungle.

Some self-employed entertainers who work for the thrill rather than a massive profit also require some form of protection against liability. Cheap liability insurance can help cover these risk takers, whose professions may range from circus acrobats to professional knife throwers, who with precise aim throw knives around their assistants at a large target.

The public often enjoys a time out with friends and family so attend shows at the circus, a bullfight or the zoo. In such cases public liability insurance is required to protect employers from the risk of a trapeze artist falling on to an audience member, a bull rampaging towards a stand or a lion getting lose during a show. All of course the worst-case scenario situations, they still show us how liability insurance can’t be ignored.
