Beginner, Parachutes?
Regardless of what kind of flight I'm taking in a glider of any type,
I feel naked and insecure without a parachute on. This is based on the reports of inflight collisions I've read (e.g. the Hawker/ASG29 near Minden), and my own experience as a rookie x/c pilot when I carelessly got sucked into a CU. Fortunately I didn't break the glider but like Andy's experience at that first turnpoint, it left a lasting impression. ~ted/2NO ps full disclosure -- I'm also biased by a previous life as a skydiver; jumpers are nervous getting in any small aircraft without a rig on.
