Readers of this blog understand that Habig & Magoon Insurance Agency can find an insurance angle – a business of insurance angle – in almost any issue or aspect of society.
Indeed, insurance has an impact on … or is connected to … almost all that we do.
And, in that Habig & Magoon Insurance Agency, always independent and family owned, has been in business for close to 80 years, we have are familiar directly, or are aware of and educated on, just about every type of insurance event or circumstance.
It’s no surprise that we hunted down – for a Halloween post – stories and information on holiday and its ties and relevance to insurance.
If you click here you will be taken to a story that posted today at Fast Company, titled, “Running A Haunted House is Scarier Than You Think.”
Written by KC Ifeanyi, the article tells the story of Russ McKamey and his challenges and tribulations in running the famed and notorious haunted house, McKamey Manor, in San Diego, which subjects visitors to the intense form of scary
Yes, if you venture into McCamey Manor you could, among other frightening experiences, get tied up, or dunked in a tank of eels, or both – and then there are the hands that grab you.
Here is an excerpt from the article:
Before stepping foot inside [McKamey Manor], participants are required to sign a 10-page waiver, have notes from a doctor and a psychiatrist assuring peak physical and mental health, and they must go through a thorough background check. And even if someone successfully checks everything off McKamey’s laundry list, there’s still a slim-to-none chance that person will ever go through the manor because according to McKamey’s last count, the waiting list is 27,000-people deep.”
So, as you can see, Mr. McKamey is keenly and highly focused on liability, and protecting himself against lawsuits.
In fact, one of Mr. McKamey’s operating expenses – as explained in the article is spending “somewhere between $15,000-20,000 per year on specialty insurance from Lloyd’s of London.”
That specialty insurance policy is a smart investment, believe us – and we feel the more you will agree the more you learn about McKamey Manor (we encourage you to conduct a web search of the term “McKamey Manor”).
Happy Halloween!!
