Default Glider pilot tries & dies (flying under a bridge)

As kids we watched in awe, the ag pilots flying under the power lines.
Decided not to try it in a SGS 2-22 when we saw him then pull up steep
to miss the tall fence on the other side of the road, do a wing-over,
then repeat it in the opposite direction.

Over-confidence can kill you even when you are 53 and should know
better.

Here is a glider pilot trying something even more stupid:
