Would it not have been better for the pilot to stay in the cockpit
untill rescue crews arrived?
Obviously in this crash as in many others involving gliders the chance
of spinal cord injury is great. I would think that extracting yourself
from the cockpit would increase the chance of aggravating any injury.

They call this phenemonon the "walking wounded". As a car wreck
survivor, I understand this...when you are in the wreck, you have an
incredible urge to get out of the wreck. Almost instinct as there isn't
any thought of injuries. The adrenelin is flowing freely and you feel
absolutely no pain, so you think you are OK....
