tell us what you think caused an accident and what could have prevented it.
That's the only way to get the word out and possibly prevent a similar
accident.

I don't know if the glider in question had a flight recorder, but many do, and
many mysterious accidents could have been fully analyzed if flight recorder
manufactures would have build them in a way that the memory can survive a
crash.
Unfortunately in most cases the flight log is lost simply as a result of the
memory battery comming loose. I heard of quiet a few such cases.
A recent mysterious accident during a contest could have been potentially
resolved if the flight log was available.

Any comments from flight recorder manufactures?

The Volkslogger uses non volatile Flash memory for the flight record
so it should be possible to always get the record.
