You must have special trees.
I know of many where glider fall all the way to the ground with
sometimes hard impact and commonly lots of damage to the glider.
Yep- I'm sure.


The only tree landing I have ever seen totalled the glider (when it fell out
of the tree) and put the pilot out of circulation for several month with spine
injurys.
