Actually, the vast majority of glider accidents in the US involve unintended contact with the ground. Now if only someone would invent an instrument that would tell the pilot how high up he is, so he would know to become more careful near the ground, that would surely be worth a big insurance discount

Such an instrument would surely be disallowed in soaring competitions.
