Default Debacle: Flight test of Diana-2: advice to potential buyers

Well... extremely light weight of a fuselage definitely makes me
wonder about crash protection - something Germany glider manufacturers
have a lot of experience with. I think there's a good cause why their
gliders are so heavy compared to the Diana 2.


Whatever the kind of vehicle, crashworthiness is definitely not
described by the mass of the vehicle itself!

All of the mass situated behind the pilot's seat is dangerous, not
protective.
