Default Some good news

And I'm disappointed that there's been no narrative of everything
recalled from the decision to leave the aircraft until feet were safely
on the ground. Any time someone experiencing such an emergency can pass
on all the thoughts, fears, worries,procedures, successes and failures
to the rest of us, it can only improve the prospects of success for the
rest of us.

On a personal note, I used to unbuckle my parachute before getting out
of the glider because it's easier physically. About a year ago I
decided that it would be better to always leave the glider with the
'chute on to avoid unbuckling out of habit before an emergency exit.
Since then, I've been refining my method for getting out and it's much
easier now. I realize that g-loading can have quite an impact on exit,
either positive or negative.

I second that. It is much more helpful to be able to discuss an accident/incident with those directly involved vs having to speculate, although I maintain that the latter is still better than not discussing at all.
