Joe had been flying for a few hours in his motorglider, came in for
landing with too much altitude, stalled and crashed.


I interpreted the report to mean "too much altitude [for a normal
landing - an overshoot situation]", but this can still be too low to
make safe turns or recover from a stall. This is especially true for a
2100' long runway.
