wow, scary :( glad he made it out alright
-
@lbchuma Roger that. Beautiful recovery.
-
200-400ft agl use 180 deg downwind emergency landing ...he did exactly the right thing.
-
I personally would of extended the final by using some of the speed used for the tow, then come back in again or do a very short circuit or land ahead.

He did the right thing.

Well, that was exciting.

First...this pilot saved it, not just the glider but also his life, seriously, he deserves a pat on the back and a hand shake, it could have ended much worse as we all know, and second....... the "no engine flying" concept has never peaked my curiosity and this is one reason why, along with a few others.

How NOT to tow a hang glider!by cybrcnc12,785 views
He has gone on to be a very good pilot and added his power rating as well. Soaring is the best way to learn how to fly. You always have to have your head in the game. You learn to fly with all the controls in concert, the feel of coordinated flight, your head always out of the cockpit. Worth a try my friend.

Rather disturbing footage for a solo glider pilot! Did the tuggie bung him off? I certainly would have if he was behind me and that high that slow. A few people have been killed by tug upsets in Australia and I reckon he was close to doing it then! The pilot was obviously nervous as hell judging by the PIO's and very hot landing speed complete with bounces and incorrect recovery procedures (pushing it into the ground again and again is not it!)

He pulled the plug himself. He had pitched up so violently towards the end that his seat came off the adjustment rails. Fortunately this learning experience only cost him some pride.
