Some gliders safer than others?
Are some glider designs much safer than others? Or do certain designs put their pilots at risk for certain types of injuries during a crash?
Looking at the Libelle with the bubble canopy it makes me wonder if the glider flipped on you during a bad landing or crash if the pilot would suffer head/ neck injuries? The dg website Has an interesting article on reinforcing the sides of the cockpit: http://www.dg-flugzeugbau.de/index.p...oes-not-sell-e Is there a source for information on this?
