Other than in helicopters, aircraft accidents are a sum of bad decisions. What is even more difficult for the glider pilot, is that the bad decision that started this chain might have been made 20 or more minutes before. Not so sure hard decks helps break a decision chain, when each pilot should already have their own personal hard deck in mind.
