I agree that the 2nd signature after rigging a glider requirement is
a bit onerous, bit maybe not stupid.
Don't you think that the number of assembly mistakes justifies
getting someone else to check things over. I am more comfortable
having someone else to check things over. The fact that you then
ask them to sign something tends to make them more thorough.

Better would be if you identified the points that need checking and
you made yourself a post rigging checklist for your particular
glider. Then equip yourself with any requisite lights/mirrors or what
ever to do it properly. When you are finished, step back and mentally
or with the help of the list go through it again and if you can't
definitely remember a step, check it again. You'll feel better about
taking off and if you aren't prepared to take responsibility for your
own neck, why should anyone else put themselves out or at legal risk
just so you feel better?
