A Glaser Dirks DG300 glider carried out a towed take-off from runway 32 behind a Robin DR400 glider tow plane (F-BXED). The glider gained more height than the tow plane. The pilot of the tow plane urgently released the glider at a height of around 60-70 m. The tow plane turned back and landed on runway 09. The glider continued its flight and struck ground at 800-900 m from the runway during its emergency landing. The glider's tail broke.
