That would work but ... not quite what I was looking for. Though I
have used that when I was younger (another life that was
indestructible) and had a much faster car!

You could stand in front of the glider before hook up and do that thing that the flight attendants do before take off, pointing to everything. Really what can you tell a passenger? When I take friends up it's more, "just don't touch anything. Especially that yellow knob."

And make sure they understand Navy protocol regarding "Eject, Eject,
Eject!"

"...and in the unlikely event of a water landing, we'll paddle to the
nearest land mass. If this turns out to be an island, we'll just sit
and think and fret until someone notices and shows up with a boat, a
rope and some big inner tubes."

Actually I don't tell my passengers what the big yellow handle is for.
I've heard too many stories (some actually first hand) of scared
passengers pulling on the release at the wrong time. Normally I have
them pull the release once we get to the top of the tow.

Usually I'll explain how to enter/exit the glider, and how to operate
the canopy first. Then I'll show them the controls and instruments.
After they get in I'll show them how to buckle in, and then tell them
it's another $5 to show them how to undo the seatbelts :-)

Since we already have an "Admiral" in our midst (UH), it wouldn't do to
have two. So, Rick (RR) is now "Commodore".

At minimum, I tell (and demonstrate) that the spoilers make a loud noise
when they come out and it's nothing to be afraid of, how to close and
lock the canopy, how to strap in, and the three things they are Not
Allowed to Touch in Flight: rope release, canopy release, radio PTT
button.

Additional bonus items are how to adjust the volume on the radio and
vario if they're flying up front, what the instruments have to say, and
other fun tidbits like that.
