The towed glider LS-6, at a height of approximately 60 m above the ground, rose above the towing aircraft to the extent that it lifted the rear part of the towing Zlin 226MS. The towing rope broke. The glider pilot pulled away from the broken end (he did not know that the rope had already broken), turned 180 degrees and landed at the take-off site in a small circle. The towing aircraft descended at a steep angle to the ground and the pilot tried to level off. Subsequently, the landing gear made contact with the runway. The landing gear legs gradually broke off towards the rear, the aircraft landed on its belly with the engine running. The propeller blades bent.
