It looks like if the glider gets ahead of you you are screwed. I've never tried it, I just noticed in all the crash videos the wing seems to get ahead of the runner and then nose dives.
@pyronaught its simple physics really: glider has a certain min air speed. On takeoff you need to run to have ground speed match this min. air speed. With a tail wind you need to run faster to compensate. My glider's min air speed is ca. 28km/h, with a 3m/s tail wind, this means I would need to run at 38km/h. I can't do that!
Ok.. Not to be rude, nut that was FU*KING HILARIOUS! :D :D :D :D :D :D :D It's as funny as hell xD xD xD It must've hurt but i just can't help it :D :D :D
これだけ走り込んでも浮かないのですね。あそこのテイクオフは緩斜面で先が落ち込んでないので風が入ってないとテイクオフ難しそうですからね。

Why would anyone try to start with 3 m/s tail wind?
I am not surprised about the way this turned out!
