Something apeared overstressed. The picture of the wreckage showed the wings were folded in such a manor that would indicate structural failure from positive G load, which in that instance, would expain the glider coming down in a nose down attitude.

HANG GLIDING FATALITIES
March 27, 2015 - Kelly Harrison
Kelly Harrison (56), a Master (H5) pilot, tandem and advanced instructor and USHPA member since 1990, suffered fatal injuries during a tandem platform truck circuit tow at Jean Dry Lakebed near Las Vegas Nevada. His 11 year old student also perished in the accident.
Joe, put a cork in it. Seriously, we don't need your barely-conscious rambling like this stuff. Just stop. And Ben, don't bother to respond...it just encourages him to continue arguing. He's getting as bad as bobk.
The "privileged info" should come out through folks like me and many other "mentors" through a method or information decimation and discussion with both current and new pilots.
Motherfucker meant to say "of" - but it DOES tie in nicely with the method of information decimation general theme on this thread.
All I really wanna do is keep a few faces from being pile driven into the runway and I don't give a rat's ass where anyone gets the equipment to achieve that goal.
...the best i can do for now is a clip of the day b4 when i told the instructor about release problem. (still released by normal method but had to yank 3 times on release to get it to release.)
The report says it was a 2 string release, which we have used often, and usually starts as a 3 string release, until the first (largest) line wears out, then it becomes a 2 string.
