Default Soaring Safety

Ok Kirk,
I concede it is a very dangerous and likely nutty idea. But when
you're roll authority is gone, is smacking into the mountain a better
alternative? Maybe the chances of coming out are not good, but isn't
it better than certain doom?

When you're suddenly looking at the mountain slope and the mountain
side wing is going down, despite full input to the opposite, what is
the best alternative? We have discussed how to avoid getting into this
situation, my suggestion is what do you do when you encounter it
despite all efforts not to get into one.

This may not even be an idea to pursue, but just maybe it's a chance
to NOT crash into a mountain in an emergency situation.

Like I said, it may not be a good idea nor am I advocating people do
this. But those who say it's nutty, of those I ask, what is the better
alternative is the exact same situation?
Tom
