Two gliders collide in Leszno, Poland

[Tomasz Sielicki]

Two gliders collided in Leszno, Poland, yesterday during Standard Class
Nationals. Both pilots (she and he) bailed out and landed safely except
for a minor injury on his leg. The accident is reported to have happened
in a gaggle 30 minutes after the gate was opened, close to the cloud
base.

Yet another contribution to the topic: Parachutes - yes or no...

The question is more like: "Parachute or Colt 45?"

Are you talking the gun or the beer?
