OK, then look at the medical incapacitation of glider pilots, which is no worse
than that of the general population of GA pilots, even though they can fly
without a medical certificate.. In just a few years, I predict that there will
be enough data for us to know that LSA pilots also have similar results, even
though some of them may have been attracted to LSA's precisely because they
can't qualify for a third class medical..

It's going to be a long, hard fight to get rid of third-class medicals. For
some reason, the FAA likes to imagine that pilots need to be in the same
condition as Apollo astronauts. And NASA was even exaggerating for the
astronauts, as John Glenn proved at the age of 77.
