I would still be very interested to know if both aircrafts involved were using flarm, if it was in stealth mode, and if it happened in a big gaggle or not.
Also how you configure your display can significantly impact how usable the device is. If the volume is low it is rather useless unless you scan your instruments every few seconds.

Flarm does not prevent these accidents. Most if not all gliders in European contests have flarms, it is often mandatory. I witnessed one of those fatal midairs (all had flarms, gaggle was gliding under cloudstreet). They still happen.

It would be great if one can give the main reason for mid-airs. Be it
lack of lookout, cockpit design, too much or too less electronics,
nationality, hours flown, sex, competition rules, etc...


Sex in the cockpit or the lack of sex?
Would gender actually be a contributing factor?
