Default Glider accident while filming commercial in 2011. NTSB Reportupdated

Thanks Andreas

Most informative. The resale value driver is obviously a consideration
when exporting a glider.

It then appears there is a high difference in historical reported
accident rate.
Current rates don't seem to be that different. IT is nice to see that
the BGA safe winching initiative has made such a difference.

Do you know how these numbers compare with the worldwide stats that John
Roake collected?

I am sure there are a number of contributory factors - including the
size/layout of airfield, demographics and composition of fleet which
also contribute.

In South Africa it has been 14 years since we had a fatal winch
accident. No idea how many launches involved.
