4:1 Ratio of fatal US glider accidents, West vs. East
Using the Mississippi river as the dividing line, a new book on US Glider Accidents reveals the following statistics:
Page 124 chart totals... ----------East West Total Accidents -124 201 326 Fatalities --15 53 68 38 additional fatalities in the Western US over the same period of time. 15 east, 53 west. Wow!, that is an absolutely shocking figure. Anyone have any idea how the ratio of fatal glider accidents could be nearly 4:1 west vs. east? Sincerely, Sean F2
