Ah yes, if only the world would see gliding the way you do there
would be no problem. This may come as news to you but most people
decide to go gliding because they want to actually fly sailplanes.
Playing "gliding club" isn't usually the reason and there seems to be
good evidence that it is a major turnoff as shown by the 40% annual
membership churn rate.
For those making the obligatory "the instructors are hard working
etc" comments, I am sure most of the instructors are well meaning etc
but this question needs answering: Why is gliding so dangerous?
