I have also heard of the France skydiver that dropped through cloud and
impacted a gliders wing thermalling under that cloud......wing
disintegrated, as did the skydiver....the pilot landed with his chute.


A similar thing happened at a glider/jump club close to my gliding club near
Oxford.

I understand that the gliding operations and the jump operations, agree a
divide zone for each to operate in.
Only there appeared to be a misunderstanding on one occasion and the agreed
zone ended up with a fatal overlap.

FWIW, I'm completely against mixing GA with jumping - it's just not worth
the trouble.
