- Do reckless pilots gain a competitive advantage in soaring contests?
- Is there a way to stay safe and compete?
- How can I manage my safety risks and my sporting risks at the same time?

As I'm preparing for my first contests in 2020 I took a deep dive into these questions. What I found was a surprise and a relief at the same time.

I'm curious what others with much more experience than me think about these topics, and I welcome your thoughtful feedback. You've definitely helped push my thinking since I published my prior two articles on gliding risks.
Thank you!
