Thanks for that, from reading that pdf it seems like any old person can just go up in a glider and fly. I am shocked after all the requirements needed to fly a powered aircraft and the lack of requirements to just soar.

So does this mean a glider is easy to fly compared to a powered aircraft?
And does this mean a glider is somehow harder to crash or loose control?
