Sorta off-topic, but sorta not:

Also a bit off topic but this summer (July), a club member made an
"off-field landing" in a forest in an LS4-b. He was slightly injured and
was trapped in the aircraft. He radiod his GPS cooordinates to a club
tow plane, 20 miles away. The plane landed at the gliderport, loaded an
oberver with a portable GPS and set off. Even though they had the exact
position, it took several minutes to spot him though the forest canopy.
They circled over the crash site and guided rescuers until help arrived.

The police later credited the tow plane crew for significantly reducing
the rescue time.
