How many times have you seen a traffic accident on your way to the gliderport? In the same time frame, how many glider accidents have you seen in that same airport? Although I can appreciate what Patrick is going through, stopping from flying ARE NOT going to stop accidents from happening. And I doubt the deads would have want us to stop anyway...
