It looked to me like he was flying to slow. He was not properly in prone when he iniated his turn. He definitely stalled the inside wing when turning and lost allot of height in doing so. This is also a relatively old glider with old technology. I suppose the effect of a stall could have been more agressive comparred to a beginners glider like a falcon.
Always fly with enough speed aspecially if you cannot afford to stall your glider.
My condolences to the family and friends. Its very sad

Long time ago a friend of mine told me that when you learn to fly, is like ride a bike, you never forget...! but, according to reeflyingspike, we have seen that's is not truth, a ten years breaks from hang gliding is a very long time... Any way, wherever a hang glider or a paraglider pilot get hurt, one feel very sad... Not matter how far you are.. I feel very sorry...

Willem was returning to flying from a 10 year break from the sport, on recent flights witnessed by myself he's turns were getting too close to the hill and sometimes when in lift turned towards the hill and not away from it. he was warned by fellow pilots and myself to stay clear from the hill but unfortunately never took our advice to heart, paying dearly for it. All relevant equipment was checked after the accident and found to be in perfect working order. our condolences. Mike Spike
