Seriously- what about the guy (retired airline pilot, i think) flying
his daughter's 1-26 in florida that went into the bottom of a cu-nim,
and then after a few fairly violent "technical difficulties" fell out
the bottom minus a wing, and survived...........and he wasn't wearing
a chute. the glider w/passenger at this point dropped into some
dense/tall trees, then brush, and the guy walked away. It was in
"soaring" in the mid '90's, and told in two parellel narratives, one
from the paniced tow pilot who saw one wing drop out of the cloud into
a lake on a golf course, and the other from the pilot "riding" the
rest of the 1-26 to the ground. One of the most amazing (good)
accident outcomes.
