Do you mean how many do, or how many can?


How many *do*.
Pretty easy to stall any glider during a winch launch if you
intentionally pull back fully.


I disagree. I think the glider used for training should spin like a
top. The learner needs to know that this is something which can
happen, can be recovered from, and really shouldn't be allowed to
happen near the ground.


.... and if it happens...?
A benign glider significantly increases the chance of survival,
doesn't it?
