Interestingly, these things are a finer balance than you think. A single big claim* a couple years ago caused a significant increase in prices for BMC insurance.
Knowing this, 8000m winter punter insurance must be gambling with a much likelier expectation of an expensive rescue.
*a +£5m pound claim. Related to a university climbing club belaying accident. Christ.
