Who insures axe throwing?
Axe throwing is a risk most standard carriers decline on sight. The markets below say in their own published appetite or program pages that they write it; each line links to that page with the date it was read.
4 markets publicly write axe throwing: Insurance Allies, LLC (AxeThrowingInsurance.com; division of Specialty Program Group LLC), Monument Sports Group (division of DOXA Programs, LLC), Granite Insurance, Prime Insurance Company. 2 program administrators, 1 MGA, 1 E&S carrier. 2 through surplus lines.

Who says they write it
From each market's own appetite, product or program page (or a trade article quoting it), read on the date shown. Appetites change: the linked page controls. A market listed here isn't necessarily one this agency is appointed with; a licensed broker reaches most of them directly or through a wholesaler.
