I don't think that that is a particularly constructive way to address
that avenue of discussion.
As bad a couple of years as soaring has had for 2010 and 2011, I'd put
our safety numbers in incidents per hour of exposure or even incidents
per exposure cycle up against those of BASE jumping any day of the
week and twice on Sunday.
Thanks, Bob K.
Perhaps you should consider the numbers of BASE jumpers against the
numbers of solo glider pilots with a Silver 'C' badge level of experience....
Aviation, no matter what or how we fly, is inherently dangerous.
You are wrong. Aviation or at least commercial aviation is inherently
safe.
