520  ‎$a‎Risk sharing is typically beneficial in insurance, but this can fail for heavy-tailed risks with infinite mean. In such cases, diversification may worsen outcomes a phenomenon known as the nondiversification trap, previously shown for stable, Pareto and Fréchet distributions. This paper demonstrates that the effect arises for any distribution more skewed than a Cauchy distribution and connects it to catastrophic risks with a positive probability of infinite loss, offering intuitive insight into why diversification can be harmful. Several open problems and conjectures related to these findings are also discussed
