Gliding is more sensitive to weather conditions than flying in a commercial airliner.  Gliding is an adventurous air sport and as such is not as safe as travelling on a commercial airliner.  Gliding clubs operate under carefully developed safety requirements. If you are looking for a totally risk free sport, gliding may not be right for you. The CAA provides guidance on flying in general aviation aircraft here.
