Community perception is an interesting point, and it reminds me of a book, Black Box Thinking [1], which I wouldn't outright recommend, but it does an interesting job of comparing safety culture across aviation and medicine. > it is imperative that we create the systems and the culture ... to help educators learn from errors rather than feel stigmatized by them Aviation has a very strong culture of publishing and scrutinising near misses and mistakes, and that culture leading to positive feedback loops that improve safety. Medicine (historically, and the book's argument) chalks up mistakes to "one of those things". Applying this to hang gliding, I managed to find quite a few careful analysis examples of accidents on forums. Obviously less scrutinised than aviation, but probably fair to say generally has a culture of safety consciousness, but in the context of an inherently deadly sport. Fair to say aviation, medicine and hang gliding all are varyingly deadly.
