A glider being towed by a cable attached to a stationary take-off winch cartwheeled at Rautavaara airfield - EFRA. During the take-off run the glider’s right wingtip touched the ground twice in rapid succession. Tall hay, approximately 60-70 cm high in places, grew in that area. After the initial contact the glider was thrown over and remained roof down on the ground. The glider came to a full stop at 86 m from the point of takeoff.
The pilot was severely injured and was taken to Kuopio University Hospital for treatment.
