This fatal accident occurred after a winch launch failure at about 150-200ft when the cable parachute failed. Although there was enough runway for a straight ahead landing the pilot turned back through 180° then turned again into wind. Half way around the final turn the glider spun, hitting the ground vertically. The pilot was killed instantly.
