The pilot lost control of the glider in strong wind. The plane crashed and the pilot did not survive the accident.
There is no way, strong wind would have made Arent loose control over this glider, he had flown gliders since he was 15 and had thousand of hours of flight experience in various airplanes including F-16. Something went terribly wrong here and we need to await the results of the investigation.
