Purchasing add'l ins. through STIDA or another carrier is always a good idea IMO.
When I started racing, I got myself a new life insurance policy that covered racing (as well as scuba diving and piloting small craft). It was also like $20-$30 more a month for way more than my wife would need. I agree that it was better to just pony up, rather than leave my wife with a possible financial burden.
