At the very least I think the competitors should be scratched on that flight just for allowing a collision, no matter who's fault it was, as a deterent to flying or allowing someone else to fly too close. On the other hand why should a pilot who was hit through no fault of his own be eliminated from a contest if he is able to determine, perhaps by an inspection by another pilot and a controllability check, that the glider is still safe to fly? I know nothing of the circumstances of this incident but I know for sure it is possible to be hit by another glider without being at fault. The concept of "allowing" another, probably unseen, glider to fly too close is nonsense. Andy |
