probably the most valid justification I can think of for pay-to-fight

I'm wrong) doesn't have to pay diddly to anybody. The reply "We only
cover members..." when asked wouldn't surprise me a bit, by Occam's
Razor of Murphy's Law:
The insurance (in general) only covers people who are NOT attending or
participating, and who are harmed.
To be slightly more precise: anyone can sue the SCA for anything: and maybe
even win. Under SOME of those circumstances, the insurance has agreed to foot
the bill, instead. Those circumstances include when the person suing is not a
participant.
Fighting and insurance have almost nothing to do with one another.

get you in the most trouble at the least opportune moment."
Oh, so very true.
