Default Five months in jail (and PTSD) - pilot found criminally negligentfor not following a preflight

This is not a hangglider cultural or safety issue, this is a human pilot issue. Takeoff without elevator connected much? Written checklists are not a cure all. If you need USTALL written down, you are feeble minded. Funny to see the ADM anti-authority stuff trotted out, we need a dangerous attitude for kicking accidents out of our ingroup so we can pretend the cause doesn't apply to us.
