People heading abroad on a stag do which may involve dangerous activities need to check that their insurance policy covers them in the event of something going wrong, Designaventure has said.

The stag and hen weekend specialist said that Britons going to a friend’s pre-wedding do need to closely inspect the clauses included in their policies so that they know whether they will be covered for taking part in dangerous activities such as machine gun shooting.

Anna Makin Made, project manager of Designaventure, said: “We advise everyone to take out their own insurance and check that they are covered for the activities that they’re doing.”

Figures from the Foreign and Commonwealth Office from 2005 revealed that 70 per cent of young British people go abroad for their stag or hen weekends and 57 per cent of them left the travel details down to the organiser, with nearly half of all them travelling without valid insurance.
