    "Sorry, we only cover you if you hit the boulder, not if the boulder hits you"

    Don't laugh. Years ago there was an insurance company that tried to stop flood payments to people saying that their flood insurance only counts when water rises up and causes flooding, not if the water comes down.

    That's not quite right. There is a distinction between real flooding and sewer backup.

    Sewer backup is covered under normal insurance, flooding is a separate rider.

    This was people living next to a river here in Australia. They had flood insurance but insurance tried to claim that the flooding was caused by the rain from above, not the river breaking it's banks.
