Ask HN: How does an app like Strava get insurance?
1 points by nextcept 969 days ago
I'm building a product that has similarities to strava (not a competitor), and I'm just curious how it gets insurance when most virtual race companies require specific event periods.

Why would it need insurance?
General liability. If people run one of their segments to compete, and something happens to them, it seems like Strava could be held accountable. I don't agree with this, but it seems like something that would have to be dealt with.
Do you compete in that just by running a certain distance whereever you want?
no, they are actual locations.
