Gliding risk....

I have been literally thrown out of thermals and rolled partially inverted by rotor while flying a very light (1-26) ship multiple times in NV . As a previous poster said, not much of a surprise, i think the “death-by-unusual wx condition� scenario is somewhat overblown. If flying on an extremely gusty day or with rotor condx or in monster thermals, a guy needs to factor that into his margins. If he does’nt then he’s setting himself up for an “unexpected� issue where in reality, it should’nt be unexpected at all. As 2g says, its just another part of proper and proactive airmanship.
