Or reach some middle ground. If the insurance company has to pay in full, then premiums will rise for us pokey riders in order to subsidize reckless behavior. Just like automobile insurance, where higher premiums are assigned to drivers who have poor driving records, insurance companies have every right to insert 'reckless clauses' (for lack of a better name) in their policies, and/or charge more for coverage of certain acts.
