This makes it even more tragic as it could have been easily avoided!
I've seen aircrafts grounded for silly reasons such as papework,
certifications etc. Isn't a fatal accident caused by a potential
aircraft flaw warrants a reaction?? Shouldn't there been at least an
AD, bullettin or some kind of warning so other owners and future
owners will be aware of it? Do we know if the person who rigged this
aircraft was aware of this potential fatal problem?

from reading the accident report (which by the way is incredibly
detailed and complete) it sounds like the people who rigged the glider
were hardly aware of how to rig the glider. very unfortunate
accident.

It's too bad that the accident reports in the US are not as complete
and detailed. I really liked the background information and photos in
this one.
