NTSB database is well populated with aircraft accident reports that

I'm sure that's the case for lots of Cezznas, a lot of which have very
marginal climb at gross weight in hot/high conditions. But are there
any such entries for gliders?


Please note that I am NOT advocating flying over any weight limit, I
just think the "you won't be insured" argument is a bit thin.

I think it's extremely thin. I'll pay a *lot* more attention to "you'll
kill yourself and here's why".
