Thanks for the reply s. As to hang gliding, you couldnt pay me a fortune to get into anything that depends on weight shift for control. That trully is flirting with disaster. As for sailplane flying, it is just like agricultural flying, they are both only as dangerous as you want to make them. Idiocy or arrogance (knowingly exceeding your skill level) will kill a guy in any endevor irregardless of his equipment list.

You made the bogus claim that driving to the gliderport is more dangerous than flying XC. Please tell us all the pilots you know that had accidents driving to or from the gliderport Vs all the pilots that had accidents flying.
