That's a significant oversight.

Many if not most NTSB accident reports for GA are extremely poor quality;
this kind of thing is typical. I don't expect they send the
best and brightest for GA accidents.

BGA reports are better and good education; summaries in S&G.
Sailplane and Gliding is significantly higher quality than
USA's Soaring - I highly recommend subscribing and reading.
Lots of good educational material, news, in addition to accident summaries.
