It would be interesting to know this information for curiosity sake.

But, I'm not sure if this historical data can conclusively say fatigue
was the root cause of the failure. The failure might have been caused by
flying the glider out of it's design limits.

This would not be hard to do if a pilot screwed up an aerobatic manevour.
If things go wrong, Vne and G limits can be easily exceeded in a hurry.

Our friends that had the last flight may done a normal basic training
flight. But, a previous flight might have damaged the glider.
Unfortunately, no one said anything about over stressing the glider and
someone else paid the price.

If you're going that route you'll probably need all accident and
repair history as well.
