Is the uncertainty contingent upon the happening of an unwelcome event. The happening of the event may result in economic loss of one form or another to a person or organisation exposed to risk.
Central to the concept of insurance is the idea of risk-distribution and risk-transfer.

What is distributed and transferred is not the physical risk, but the economic consequences of that risk.
