....snipThere is certainly a summary - but that is *not* the same as an investigation report. Similarly, the involvement of a coroner does not mean that the lessons the wider gliding community should learn from an accident are actually teased out.
If you care to check out the GFA business plan, you will find the investigation of accidents listed as 'on going' as, I understand, has been the case for a couple of years.
That may be true in terms of the accidents themselves (spinning in is spinning in...), but that is not true in terms of the ways we humans come up with of actually achieving that result.
Furthermore, as all accidents are examples of 'system failure', it is very important that we work out where the system failed. Then we can correct a system that has gone off the rails and/or redesign the system to avoid that failure mode recurring.
Could you please explain to me how the above-mentioned summary of accidents achieves these important safety outcomes?
No, Rob. Nobody else has the amount of time you have to pursue the failings of the GFA. For over a year now you have been running a vendetta against a bunch of overworked, amateur volunteers. If you want anything to improve in the GFA, for the umpteenth time (maybe you will one day accept it as true) -
YOU NEED TO DO IT YOURSELF!
You have the skills in all areas to implement a safety section on the GFA website. If you volunteer to do it, I'm sure you'd be welcomed with open arms. If you don't like what's happening, make something better happen.
GO FOR IT!
However, I'm a little cynical about your proclaimed dedication to safety in that the only time you mention it is as a club to beat the GFA with.
