Technical soaring ( the OSTIV magazine ) July 2002. pg 89.

The article suggests that the prone ( face down and forward ) position may
actually provide added safety rather than less safety when an analysis of
aircraft accidents is made.

I don't have access to this issue. Perhaps you could describe the
reasoning, because I have a hard time imagining how that could be. The
only thing I can think of is the pilot would be so afraid of crashing,
he'd be extremely careful to avoid any chance of an accident!
