Default Gliding International - "International Accident Report"

This from February 2021, Volume 14 No. 5 page 40, "International Accident Report Nov-Dec 2000". The third "accident" reported:

[After giving date, location, type registration number etc.] "Comment: The aircraft experienced a loss of adequate lift and force landed to open field terrain in Hazelton, Pennsylvania. The glider was not damaged and the pilot was not injured"

Really, ?

Query: Is there any glider pilot editing this magazine anymore?

Ha! I just read that last night and thought outlandings without damage or injuries are now "accidents"? Who writes those summaries?
