I am astounded by the number of fatalities in the past 20 yrs.

A few years ago, I did a search to find the most dangerous common activities. Underground coal mining was the worst. Flying gliders is even worse.

The most amazing thing for me to try to understand is who we are. Well to do, educated, the movers and shakers.

OTOH, I am convinced, the primary problem is a fundamental lack of knowledge, and an unwillingness to make the effort to learn.

Today I started a thread on my newsletter to try to help. Sign up free at www.eglider.org if you are interested.
