Like Lite Sport, a glider pilot does NOT need a medical. This might appeal to many pilots who are thinking they may not be able to pass the next medical. Forget the possiblity of flunking one, just switch ways of getting airtime.

LSA doesn't need a medical? No, but an LSA rating is only good to 10,000 MSL. Can't get a Gold Badge with an LSA glider rating, legally. Frank Whiteley
