I think travel insurance is a TOTAL waste for weekend getaways, change my mind

I've taken ten weekend trips without insurance and NEVER had an issue. Saved over $200 total. My friend had a minor flight delay and still didn't need to claim anything. Is there a REAL benefit I'm missing for these short, cheap trips?

Man, my buddy skipped insurance for a quick Vegas trip and his bag got lost with his diabetes meds inside. The airport was slow to find it, and he had to pay out of pocket for a whole new set at some overpriced pharmacy. That one hassle cost him way more than the insurance ever would have.

What's the most you've ever spent on a weekend trip? I'm with you, I never get it either. I saved about $150 last year skipping it on four trips. One time I did have a hotel booking glitch and almost wished I had it, but I fixed it myself. For cheap flights and a short time, it feels like a safe risk to skip.
