How do you find information for a particular type of glider? Is there
some way to cross reference from the TN numbers?

There is. https://members.gliding.co.uk/library/tns/

The database is in the BGA Compendium, easily accessible via this

On the BGA page scroll down to find the list of manufacturers and type
certificate holders. Click on the one of interest (eg Allstar PZL)
You will now be offered a pdf of reported problems - both general for
the manufacturer and type specific. Each entry identifies the relevant
TNS for more information.

I had a seat back failure in my youth (hundred years ago) I was driving my 1939 ford, doing about 40 when suddenly I was in the back seat looking at the cieling! A drunk, driving an Oldsmobile, ran into me. I can still remember pulling myself back up into the normal driving position.
Suppose this is what happened to the pilot in this accident? Will anyone ever know why he crashed? Most failures leave whitness marks, I'll bet carefully examination could determine if it failed in the aft direction.
