What about this situation: You are on your fifth solo flight and OOOH NOOO! your yaw string disintigrates while under tow. No, this never happens does it? (Happened to me once: Club 1-26 with brand new canopy & no yaw string. Damn it wasn't on my pre-flight checklist! How could I have missed it?) But if it does what better way to fly the pattern Hmmm...yet another instrument with no required backup. Yaw string outside, maybe a ball inside? P.S. Always remember: Proper pitch attitude control is imperative when executing this maneuver as the IAS will almost certainly not be correct. Yet another instrument with no backup. (most) Airplanes have a stall horn as the ASI backup. I'm still puzzled why gliders don't have stall warning devices...
