My question is if soaring is so dangerous why when you go to the NTSB
accident pages are their more fatalities in RV's in 1 year than in
Soaring?

You read more into it than is there. He says you need to be "totally
focused on being a disciplined practitioner of safe soaring" to do it
safely, and that he now wants to get back into powered flight, so he
won't be able to be totally focused. So he sells the plane. Makes sense
to me.

He didn't say an RV-8 is more/less safe.
