[net.misc] Info and statistics on glider safety wanted

lute@abnjh.UUCP (J. Collymore) (07/12/84)

I am interested in taking glider lessons (sail plane/cockpit type gliders,
not hang gliders).  However, I have heard a few mixed comments about
the safety of some glider schools, gliders and the overall sport.  If there
are any of you out there who have experience with gliders and glider
schools, and could give me information on this sport as far as various
aspects of safety, I would appreciate it!

Please send me mail rather than post replies.  Thank you.
