>Ahh, but then people who jump out of aeroplanes aren't skydivers . . .

Well, at least not until they are born again into freefall. Then they are _real_ skydivers.

and sailplane pilots must deal with the same issues that skydivers do when landing.

So if a sailplane pilot has a particulary hard landing, is the pilot obligated to break his own leg with a sledgehammer upon exiting the cockpit ? What's the SOP on this ?



I am a licensed sailplane pilot, and I assure you that a bad landing in a sailplane will likely result in multiple fractures or even death. No sledgehammer needed.

The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one.
