Set at "Jurassic World". I would love to hear a Bob Newhart-style monolog from the point of view of the insurance broker tasked with getting insurance for JW.
When I was an insurance broker assigned to get coverage for our city's fireworks display, there were many days I wished I could get out of the job by being eaten by a dinosaur.
Really? Fireworks are a routine-enough thing that I would have expected getting insurance for the show to be not a big deal procedurally-wise. Expensive, maybe, depending on the track record of whoever you hired to do the show, but not hard to get underwritten.
Routine but dangerous and under highly variable conditions that one can't control (weather, crowd size, traffic, etc.) We didn't have a city fireworks display this year because they couldn't get insurance at all. Apparently they've been self insuring for a few years (through bonding, I'm assuming) but weren't able to this year, not sure why.
