You sure?

How many times have you seen a traffic accident on your way to the
gliderport?

In the same time frame, how many glider accidents have you seen in
that same airport?

Although I can appreciate what Patrick is going through, stopping from
flying ARE NOT going to stop accidents from happening. And I doubt the
deads would have want us to stop anyway...
