Parachute Practise Cited In Glider Bailout Fatality

Way too many ways to get the static line tangled up with the aircraft or pilot especially if the aircraft is spinning or out of control. Being a skydiver, as I was 50 years ago, would help in a bailout but just a couple of jumps wouldn’t help much and most pilots would be disinclined to start jumping for the small advantage in an unlikely event.
