Insane is not "You only have one save game". Insane is "If you die, it's permanent".
I am saying that you are wrong if you think that insane mode only creates one savegame. It creates savegames just like any other mode.
The difference between Hard and Insane is that if you die on Insane, you are not supposed to be able to load your savegames. As you have found, this sometimes doesn't work if you die on a QTE.

Why do people assume Insane is about only having one save game? I am not sure what lead to this ( Dead Space maybe? ).
Insane is the exact same as normal gameplay ( though enemies ARE tougher ). You can save and load as many gamesaves you want, that is not the issue.
If you die ( and I mean properly die not save the playthrough in the last second due to the QTE delay on killing your saves ) then you lose ALL your saves in that current playthrough...well at least the ones that are on Insane.

Shrug. Your choice. Although why you'll only accept it if a developer tells you what is already obvious beats me. There are plenty of people who have already played the game (or at least part of it) in Insane, every one of those people already knows the answer to your question, and this is, after all, a community forum.
You can try raising a support ticket, but I suspect that the developers are probably NOT willing to explain the mechanics of Insane in any detail, as it could lead to someone working out how to cheat the system.
I'm not sure if cheating the system is really an issue when there's no multiplayer component to this? If you're just talking about steam achievements, I'm pretty sure you can 'cheat' it already.
MY game is from GOG so i don't worry about steam.
I have continued with the game in chapter one now but i think i can easily cheat if i wanted to because of the many save games.
I will try to see how far i can get without getting killed. The most difficult combat are the QTE's in the game and that is what will give me problems.

I don't see how you can cheat the game when your insane saves are deleted when you die.
