This is a sure way to protect some while exposing others to repeat the same
mistakes. There is no reason to avoid a respectful discussion. And no, we
can not leave this to NTSB which is rather useless when investigating
gliders accidents. My condolences to family and friends.

I, too, have been involved with after-effects of fatal glider accidents
(plural, sigh): friends, family, clubs, NTSB. IMO there is always a place for
respectful, sorrowing, inquisitive (as in "What lessons may the rest of the
soaring world glean from these tragic events which possibly may prevent
repetition?"), open discussion by whatever means timely and respectfully suitable.

Respectfully,
Bob W.
