Safety II for the Improvement of Safety in Competitions
Abstract
The commercial air transportation industries use effective, efficient and ubiquitous Safety Management Systems to continuously improve safety. In soaring competitions, nowadays only the reactive safety method (Safety I), i.e. learning from accidents, is used. Requiring the competition organization to use modern Safety Management techniques has the potential to significantly improve the safety in competition. If the effect is similar to the commercial air transportation industries, a factor of 5 to 20 improvement in safety may be expected.
