Considerations:
she used to fly a Discus since 2001, and got hold of her LS-8 only a
few days before this last flight;
we Italians are not used to fly the flatland in windy conditions.

I forgot the last consideration:

Accident #1 could have been survivable in a safety cockpit as she
impacted in a field. Or (maybe) in an old, low wing-loading glider.
Accident #2 was not survivable as he impacted a hard surface (rock).
