13. Victims (23)

14. Results 60 % of accidents without injuries
55% accidents while Outlanding
44 % on Base
Every 7. accident: Collision
Sehr viele = 63%
Zu weit = 9%
Zu kurz = 16%
Hart = 27%

15. Conclusions There are glider accidents in competitons
In about 1/3 of the accidents pilots get killed
Landing accidents are No. 1
Outlanding: a risk, not enough respected
Med. Emergency Treatment Concepts
On Base: anticipated!
Off Base: to be improved
Accidents on Base:
Special preparation required! (Training)
Consider modern Standards / Responsibilities!
