Lost a flying friend years ago this way. Just replaced the side wires so he could fly more safely with his sons tandem. The shop goofed on the nico. Wing folded right after launch. He died, his son was okay. The manual on one of my gliders has me put a 75 lb side load on the side wires to make sure they're solid as part of the preflight. People watching think it's nuts but it's better to fail in preflight than in the air. Be safe.

@yuvinb Get a new Instructor and shoot the old one before he kills somebody!

That is one nasty looking glider ... ahhh, makes me sick!

Looks like the mountain drops vertical.

As a hang pilot, this video cramps my sphincter... just think about all the no-turning-back ramps you've run off of in your career.... Glad you're okay.

sorry for giving you shit, you're right about the cable and the harness main.

You're lucky that it was so loose, it broke right after your wing lifted off! So much more stress is put on the wings in strong thermal days or aerobatics..... Makes you think, doesn't it! Of course a good PREFLIGHT is always vital but I wonder if you could ever have seen it…....

@gilliguts New.
Hand made by my instructor.

@yuvinb Yes I feel for the illusion too but now I see what you mean... was it a new cable just relaced or an old one?

Pre-Flight checks FTW....

the cable, hard to see.

I see the base bar coming loose at the right side : both uprights are 'opening' while the right side of the base bar falls down.

I know what it looks like, but still it was the cable! can't change the facts.
