When and individual takes up a avocation such as ultralight flying which
could possibly cause harm to another individual then I believe that person
has a responsibility to have insurance. Of course if you have unlimited
assets and can just write a check for any injury or property damage you
cause, then insurance is optional for you.
If you choose not to have hull insurance then you are the only one at risk
because of that decision and that is strictly your business.
If you are flying under part 103 you may be considered a recreational
vehicle by the state you operate in and many states require financial
responsibility and require that you have insurance. If you have and
accident and don't have insurance, even if you don't injure a person or
cause property damage, your aircraft could be confiscated.

Here comes a can of worms!!!
Vic, please don't take this as disrespect for your stand (if we didn’t have opposing views, we wouldn’t have balance). However, yesterday as I was walking down the street a guy on the other side of the street waved and said hello. I wondered what he “really” meant by that.
We get so sue crazy; paranoia, law book (do you know the eight most popular shows on TV now are based on cops, killing and coroner role playing) and we have this new found interest about ratting on our neighbors and cameras on stop lights. I personally believe in the end times there will be only cops, lawyers and insurance agents alive. They will be so busy shooting, suing and insuring against life limb and property to know that it’s the end times! That would be as close to hell as I could picture. And I have some very good friends in the SWAT departments around Ohio. Also used to like my insurance agent, never found a lawyer (have one across the street) I could really relate too (but we all have a calling and need to make a living). Actually I was seriously considering starting a TV series That some how combines: Trading Spaces with Trading Faces, What's my line, C.O.P.S., Law and Order and WWW Stomp with This old house, Who's your momma and Queer eyes for streight guys. It's bound to appeal to everyone. I jsut don't have a way to tie them all together that would hold the audiance.
If the system had it’s way: we would we would all wear ankle bracelets monitoring our whereabouts 24/7 and you would really wonder in the future; “what did that guy really mean when he said hello”. I have a considerable amount of Auto insurance, Home insurance and when I had the bikes more that the cagers (car people) had just for that concern. Now because of all this outpouring of money I don’t have the monies to enjoy the other things in life like I should. There comes a time in life where a man has to say “enough is enough!” (guess that’s the John Wayne, Sylvester Salon ((pun intended) in me)). I know that regardless of the response to this post, most know exactly what I’m saying. Its frustration with the greedy system, and the likes of individuals that would take advantage of it. My wifes and my health insurance is over eight grand a year, plus co-pays etc.! Enough!
Insurance in its own right was and is good. It’s the continued need to cover more and more against more and more problems. I would rather fly out in the areas noted to be farm land, not (even as FAR 103 states) over crowded areas of populist. And I know that even over farm land, I could run into a prize bull (not to worry, my plane isn’t red), and as such pay the consequences. I guess I am prepared to do that if necessary. Has anyone looked into a Bond? Not James! We are a dying breed of freedoms and rights and the wolrd see us as a giant lolipop, there for the sucking! I don't see my 5 gallion gas tank mounted on my 75 mile per hour Klob as a threat to a neighborhood, refinery or school bus, And If affordable, I probably would carry insurance, but not for the sake of the hoops that one has to jump through.
Now I feel better!
Underinsured, ill equipped, over governed and watching my back Ralph of Ohio!
I just looked down at the button to send...It says 'SUBMIT" makes me shake with fear even to send this.

Did you think before you wrote this ? You are far more likely to hurt someone playing football, baseball, soccor, etc. then ever hurting a bystander with an ultralight. So using your logic, dont participate in any sports without insurance... Dont ride a bicycle either without liability insurance, because you could run into someone on the sidewalk. Riding a bike in a city is far more likely to hurt someone else than flying your ultralight.
Your post is just typical of someone that gets all worked up about anything differnet and exciting, while ignoring risks that are far bigger, but not "attention getters". Typical of emotional but not to bright people....

Throughout September, Untermeyer will wear an ankle bracelet 24/7. Anyone can track his whereabouts by going to his campaign Web site and following.
