Exclamation STOP! -- You're going to kill my children

The company I work for is subsidising the cost of some short (15 minute) glider flights for employees and families.

I have 2 children, and (unfortunatly) one ex-wife.

She seems to think that gliding is only marginally less dangerous than skydiving sans parachute.

Can anyone give me some advice as to how dangerous gliding (not hang-gliding) really is.

I feel I am more likely to die in a car accident on the way to Cunderdin (near Perth, Western Australia) than while flying in a glider.

Comments?

(editied for bad directions :-) )
