Default Some gliders safer than others?

Dr. Anthony Segal did a number of drop tests in the past.

I kindly received all his (OSTIV) publications from him.
I think he concluded, for example, that the ASK-13 without the front-wheel transfers the impact on the 'skate' directly onto the spine of the person in the
front seat.
