In a sport like owers, knowledge is everything. What you don't know
will likely kill you. As such, we should all make sure to be as
knowledgable as possible with what we doing, and don't attempt what we
don't know. In my opinion, it all starts with the first sentence that
many of us heard when we went to the gliderport the first time "the
driving to the airport is more dangerous". Many still believe in it. I
did, until the first accident I heard about shortly after I started.
With this attitude, we let our guards down.
Before Noel attacks me, my comments above are in general and not
related to this paricular accident.
