Did anyone else see the horrific picture in today's Daily Mirror of a glider missing a wing about to crash? This was always the nightmare in the back of my mind when I went gliding. With the wings being attached/detached each day I worried they might come off one day. That's not to prejudge the cause of this accident of course. I suppose the only chance you have in a situation like this is bailing out - presuming you're wearing a parachute.
My sympathies to the pilot's family and friends.
