They didn't clear the buildings by more than a couple hundred feet, and those appear to be at least .5 mile from the runway. I would also think the more dangerous part would be not tangling the gliders in each others lines. I imagine if one hit another's cable, you would have a huge mess, not to mention all the gliders behind it getting caught up in it as well.
