Some gliders safer than others?

I fly an early H-301 Libelle (serial #19). It has a significant safety

Seriously, Libelles would, in no way, be construed as having a "safety
cockpit", however, there have been relatively few fatalities in
Libelles. I think their slightly wobbly, unstable feel encourages pilots
to pay attention to their flying.
An extra helping of humor, on toasted wry. I'm going to chuckle about that all afternoon.
