I don't think that bringing people to soaring is done by trashing
other aviation sports. One could come up just as easily with morbid
"reasons 23, 24, 25.... why gliding is not a good idea".

As a glider and paraglider pilot, my reasons to practice both sports
have so far exceed the list of reasons not to. They both have some
level of danger and failure to ignore this when I go fly would be an
added source of danger.
