6-29-16 1:30PM. Local Novice HG with a little over 2 years
experience drops his right wing at the moment of takeoff and gets turned
crosswind then downwind and impacts a tree several seconds after takeoff.
Injuries: Fatal. It was typical mid-day summer conditions, warm windy afternoon.
Winds 15mph sustained, some gusts to 25. Glider Falcon 195. Non-pilot eyewitness
reported the glider launched unassisted, immediately entered a right turn. The
bank angle increased to 90 deg and the glider climbed in ridge lift eventually
turning downwind and impacting a tree in the middle of the setup area. The
glider was lodged in the tree and public emergency responders eventually freed
it after lowering the pilot's body to ground level. The impacted tree is located
125 ft from launch at 45 deg behind and right of takeoff. Estimated flight time
5 seconds.
