My question is, has anyone every been sued for negligence involving a
non commercial glider accident? I am newer to the sport, mostly
powered time, and I know that has problems. I know we all are paying
tons for insurance, just in case we're the 1st, but it seems to me
that paying as much for insurance as I will for tows next year is a
bit ridiculous.

Are you asking about liability insurance for recreational pilots? That
is usually very cheap, typically less the $200. It's the hull insurance
that is costly. It costs me $1600 to insure my ASH 26E motorglider (hull
+ liability), and that does not seem like "tons"!
