Something to remember if you are foolish enough to get sucked into a CB and
lose your pretty white wings as a result. If you bail out successfully, it
might be a good idea to wait a while before pulling the rip cord lest you
continue to go up.

I think a couple of German pilots succumbed that way early on in soaring's
history.

That's right! I read a book about it when I was about ten. That's what
awoke my interest in this mad sport.
