I'm curious whether or not there are any statistics about accident rates of RAS participants.

No doubt most of us are certain that we aren't the one likely to be in the next crunch alert as we read the forums and reports. But is the fact that usually it is this group that is acknowledging the reality that we might join that club any indicator that we might be a little less likely to join it? Are we all just preaching to the choir?

I will try to "do the favor" for the pilot who tops my personal list of people who will die in a glider, next time I see him... That is if he bothers to use the conventional radio frequencies while doing aerobatics near other aircraft.

predestined to die in a sailplane, perhaps you'd be doing said participant
a real favor by suggesting to them some serious re-examination of why that
thought persists is in order. Just sayin'...
