Sorry, that does not answer the question.
Where is the evidence that pilots with a Class 2 medical are safer?

Let's also not forget that glider pilots are aging (like their aircraft), so
statistically your chance of developing a medical health issue is increased
just by virtue of being around longer. Diabetes, high blood pressure can be
silently doing you damage.
Many chronic medical problems can be better managed when they are diagnosed
early, so aviation medicals aside, everyone should have a family GP and visit
them once a year for a health check (even the young folk). Pee in a jar, get
your blood pressure checked, have your blood glucose and lipids checked.
