But before I get started make sure to subscribe and hit the little notification bell so you don’t miss a single episode of Travel Unravelled. And now we’ve got that out of the way let’s begin. Sea sickness can hit even the strongest of stomachs and this was definitely the case with one unlucky pensioner. While feeling a little queasy over the side of their cruise ship they lost their dentures along with their lunch. And the claim was for lost baggage. I just really, really hope they washed them if they found them. The trip to the beach wouldn’t be complete without trying to bury your parents in the sand. Trust me, it’s not as sinister as it sounds. But two kids decided to go one better and bury their parents’ video camera when they went playing in the sea. And I mean, it’s a great idea right? Pirates did it so why not two kids? Well the difference is that kids don’t make treasure maps and couldn’t find the camera upon their return. Sorry lads, ‘ard luck! A trip to the alpine slopes was a disappointment for one keen skier. Loaded up with a brand new set of skis she just bought for the occasion, when she arrived there was so little snow she couldn’t ski at all. Her attempt to make a claim for a brand new set of skis was later rejected. At the other end of the spectrum it’s the family who went to Scotland. Unfortunately their week long getaway was spoiled by a week full of rain. They tried to make a claim because the rain was such a pain but the rain claim was in vain. It got rejected. I wonder if they went again? One couple travelling through Malaysia returned to their holiday lodge only to find monkeys had rummaged through all of their luggage. Those cheeky monkeys! They’d strewn all of their clothing all over the neighbouring rainforest. But the insurance company did pay out on this one. Who wouldn’t want to get married in the Caribbean? You’ve got sun, sea, sand and a bride on fire? No, not the latest Instagram trend but one bride’s day turned ugly when her dress caught fire on a barbecue. The heroic groom bravely scooped her up and dumped her in the ocean, ruining both their outfits in the process. But the insurance company did pay out on this one, so… One British holidaymaker was devastated to find the two coconuts he was bringing back from his travels had been lost en route. So devastated was he in fact, that he put in a claim for £1000. And this is a particularly bold claim given that coconuts sell for about £1 in the UK and bringing this type of food back into the country is technically illegal. But you’ve gotta respect that moxy. He was coconuts. And finally another coconutty claim. While holidaying in Sri Lanka a woman was resting under the shade of a coconut tree. It sounds delightful doesn’t it? You’ve got the waves lapping at your feet, the warm sand all around. And that is until her holiday came crashing down. Quite literally in this case as a coconut bounced right off her noggin leaving her needing hospital treatment. It just goes to show that whether a lion, tiger, honey badger or coconut. Everything wants to hurt you. And that is a wrap on the 8 most bizarre travel insurance claims ever. Have you ever had an accident on holiday?
