I agree it is incredibly helpful and rare that accident data is shared

I just learned that some of the raw data of an NTSB accident investigation is available

Here is the data on the NTSB docket for Chris's accident.

There is for example a .pdf map of the flight path, but the IGC log file is not included.

Ironic that this would come up...the FAA sent me a nice e-mail today, and 3 months later they have decided with the NTSB that they changed their mind, and bailing out of a glider is now considered an "accident", not an "incident" or "occurrence" as previously thought. Time for some more paperwork...
