Thanks, Matthew. Yours is by far the most sensible comment on the topic.
Aerobatics aren't done over built up areas for
good reason. I wonder how that risk compares with a large gaggle of gliders?

Turnpoints are usually over populated areas such as towns.
Turnpoints are naturally an area of higher
collision risk because of converging headings.
Pilots tend to outland/get low near turnpoints
because of tunnel vision or trying round the
turnpoints efficiently in high wind.
Perhaps turnpoints shouldn't be over populated
areas/landmarks in competitions in this age of GPS navigation?
