The article says this was a flight review. A BFR I presume? Therefore the backseat would be a CGI-G.....An experienced front seater and a CFI-G and things still happen such as this. Makes a relatively inexperience type such as much self think twice. Accidents happen, glad no one was hurt but a couple of the comments in the articles indicate a willingness on the part of some to restrict gliding even more in such areas. Something we don't need right now.
