Overshot landing area, broke into a fence, came to rest in a creek.

Sources:
Loss of lift in flight, delayed landing, rushed, landed downwind, wind was strong, that led to runway excursion into a ditch. No injuries, but right wing hit a fence and both wings bent upwards after the glider fell into a ditch sideways (photo).
Don't delay landing out if you have to.
