I just read a news article this week about a young Australian man on vacation in Indonesia who got in an accident. His family now face costs of around $350,000 because his insurance didn't cover riding motorized scooters.

I think travel insurance is generally wise to have, and to be aware of what you are covered for. This is an example both of the potential costs and how if you don't read your policy carefully they will fuck you over.
