Briegleb BG-12B?
Most read like pilot/builder error. Over speed, Over g and poor construction on a push rod seemed to be the primary fatals. EAB powered aircraft suffer from similar issues so it doesn't surprise me to see homebuilt gliders with similar reports. I knew a guy who bought it in a Titan Tornado. It didn't make the aircraft a bad design or him a bad pilot. Just a bad decision on that day.

"Investigate and draw your own conclusions."
Looks pretty conclusive... pilot error by pilots with little or no time in make and model. The very first one is a guy show boating during his first flight in the thing. Then there is a flap overspeed with witnesses saying he was high and very fast. A classic stall/spin and what appeared to be a controlled flight into terrain. There was a poorly constructed pushrod.
