From the headline I was wondering how he swallowed the card AFTER he died. I was thinking “Maybe he had it in his mouth and swallowed it when he hit the ground.”

Very unique?

Joining the mile high club via hang glider is indeed very dangerous?

It will be hard to live with, knowing you might have been at least partially responsible for a deadly accident through negligence.

Not pleasant to contemplate, but the possibility exists of something up between him and the boyfriend involving money.

I’m willing to presume him guilty based upon his conduct. Of course, if he was incompetent in his hang gliding as he was in his attempted cover-up, the result is somewhat understandable.

The waiting period for the card has . . . um . . . ' passed.'

Police recover swallowed evidence from pilot in fatal hang-gliding accident

No news yet, except the awkwardly worded phrase: "We have processes in place to extract what is on the card.”

If it’s evidence why wait for it to pass. Cut it out of him.

I appreciate dirty pictures, but this is ridiculous.

How safe is hang gliding for a newbie?

It's not safe. Hang glider owners have about 10 times the fatality rate of motorcycle owners. The survivors usually have interesting stories about broken bones and hospital stays. To the old saying "there are old pilots and there are bold pilots, but are no old bold pilots" add "there are poor lawyers and there are wealthy lawyers, but there are no wealthy hang glider instructors".
