Allianz Global Assistance has completed a recent study revealing some of the most unusual claims made by Aussies when travelling overseas. 

Some of the responses where:

  • A volunteer helping animals at a zoo had his finger bitten off by a rhino
  • An Aussie man was throwing a cheeseburger to his friend across a balcony when he slipped and fell over the edge
  • When spearfishing, a man mistook his foot for marine life and impaled himself
  • An Aussie attending the Burning Man festival tried to help a fire-breathing hipster when he accidentally set his beard alight
  • An unfaithful woman suffered a motorcycle accident whilst holidaying with her secret boyfriend, while her hubby was at home in Australia

Allianz Global Assistance, general manager of travel & medical John White said, “We have observed a number of extraordinary claims that extend beyond the usual travel woes of lost luggage or missed flights.”

“No matter how unconventionall the issue is, we take all claims seriously and do our best to provide assistance where we can.”
