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.

Google NTSB
then hit Aviation
then hit Accident Database & Synopses

this will give you a lot of information in it's database but does not
usually mention CONTEST which seems to be a big factor in accidents.
