I witnessed an accident last year. A construction worker was working on the edge
where all the pilots were standing. A lost control
1.5M glider smashed right into the metal fence. The glider shattered and some piece
bounced off and hit the worker's face. He was
knock out for a few second. When he sat up again we saw the lower half of his face
barely hanging on. His sinus, teeth and jaw bone
were exposed and blood were filling up the hole he was digging. I called the
emergency and he was sent to the hospital by ambulance.
If the glider hit him directly, he'd been killed for sure.
