During a sports competition, the glider collided frontally with a vulture at about 2300m altitude when making a climb in a thermal turn. The impact caused the breakage of the glass of the cockpit and the instrument panel. The remains of the cockpit caused slight injuries in the legs to the pilot, who could communicate the event to the organization by the frequency used for the competition and land in a place planned for landings outside the aerodrome, northeast of the town of Sabiñánigo. The pilot left the aircraft by his own means.
