Default Accidents resulting from medical issues

OK, yes, a death or injury is a death or injury.
Offing passengers is a lot larger.
Keeping injuries or deaths in Soaring is even better.

I will not argue with either.
But, I will say, sorta like, "I want to off myself" vs. "I want to off myself and a theater along with me".
I don't find either good, but one is less good than the other.

So, flying with a health issue may be bad (sorta depends on if known or not) by yourself or with a passenger or two are different things.
Keep in mind (last I looked) the US has for glider (and others), "no known issues that preclude me from piloting ((fill in the blank).

Default Accidents resulting from medical issues

As pointed out - an accident impacts the whole sport, family, friends, the line kid who launched you, first responders, local general aviation, the airport and the community in general. It effects insurance rates, perception of risk among potential pilots and passengers.

I will always have in my mind the tragedies I've witnessed or have been involved with as either an investigator, witness or the person who has had to deal with the outcome in one way or another.

No one "flies alone".

Regards, Tom
