NEW Sporting Code rules
Yeah, my thoughts exactly. In all my many XC flying all over the western US I can't recall a situation where I would have nowhere to land if I hit any sort of strong sink short of a microburst (which usually come with warning signs). Damaging the glider in less than suitable fields maybe, but nothing as deadly as described here. Certainly not a place for a silver badge attempt under any rule...
