This is a beautiful sport, but it can bite you.
Rest in peace old friend, I'll meet you under that distant Cu, some

That makes 4 fatal glider accidents in the US alone in 4 weeks.

Is there somewhere where one can identify these accidents and their
potential causes? *I follow gliding quite closely and I would presume
that unless the accident was at a national meet such as O'C's or local
to you, it would not get much national coverage. *Please advise if you
can as the location and nature of the other three accidents within the
last four weeks.

Tom Knauff did an article on the subject that was published in the
last couple months in Soaring magazine which looked back about 10
years on accident causes.
Worth reading.
