I have said this for years. But a heavy lift given the scale of our sailplane manufacturers. I suspect complying with new easa g requirements has already required a lot of effort.

But I would buy a little heavier and draggier new glider if it had a cage that meant less certainty of vertebral and ankle fractures with most glider impacts. Stick one human in a downsized two-place fuselage surrounded by whatever cage the F1 guys have, and there would have to be less morbidity, wouldn't there? What does a cage weigh?

I love this sport more than anything, except seeing my family after an awesome flight...
