Almost half of all young people travelling from the UK are uninsured. Every day, 10 British travellers somewhere in the world are hospitalised. And 50% of all British travellers don’t insure themselves for all the things they get up to while they’re away (we’re looking at you, bungee-jumpers, scuba divers and surfers).

Those are just some of the stats published by the FCO and Know Before You Go (now known as Travel Aware) in this eyebrow-raising infographic:
