@blowy1984: Can you update the title and tags of this video? Remove "near miss" and "crash". It wasn't either of those! Instead try "Simulated Cable Break" or "Launch Failure" :D

That's standard procedure for a failed launch.

@Frosty615 Its pretty easy to back-release the glider at the top of the launch by just not pulling the release knob but I've never seen it back-release in the normal climb but I've heard that it's happened.
-
Sorry that was meant to be in a reply to someone!
For those of you that say it was a good recovery? I would suggest you could tell that this is a trainee's attempt at a plf...Why? Look at the yaw present on the ground run before take off. Simple - Our instructors would NEVER allow that to happen!
-
lol, no way at all. I've done over 3000 launches most of which were at the airfield where his was videoed and I've NEVER had a 'rope' (or as we in the air cadet gliding organisation like to call them 'cables') back release in the full climb. EVER. Your terminiology is cracking by the way - Shove the stick forwards? lol
-
Of course he did, this is a normal part of glider training.

el corte del cable nunca puede ser causa de accidentes si se recupera a tiempo la posicion de vuelo del planeador y se decide correctamente que hacer...el remolque por torno es seguro y barato!!!!

Simple cable break. Stick forward, land straight ahead. No big deal. Certainly NOT a near miss crash. Was a well controlled recovery.
-
gliders have a very low stall speed so recovery from a launch failure is quite easy as long as you keep it in good control and a steady float back the the ground without stalling.

i see u guys used a launch cable

OMG this is insane, i wonder if he kept on flying after this?
