Example, a guys got 3,000 hours of glider time but its most all flying over the home field with little or no off field landing experience. That guy is an accident waiting to happen when he finds himself in an unusual off field landing situation. The guy who has been pursuing his gold badge and had only a couple hundred hours but has had to make 5 off field landings this past year had a hell of a lot more “situational experience”.

So then logically, wasn't the guy (or girl) with the 5 off-field landings an accident waiting to happen BEFORE she made them?

I mean, off-field landings aren't something that we get to practice with an instructor onboard.
