Narrative:The pilot said, and ground witnesses confirmed, that he landed in a 15kt tailwind on the approach end of the runway. When the pilot applied the brakes to stop the glider, no restistance was felt on the brake control handle and the glider would not slow down. The pilot said that when he knew he couldn´t stop prior to overrunning the end of the runway he steered the aircraft toward a wooded wall of a commercial building instead of letting the aircraft continue toward a chain link fence. An FAA Airworthiness inspector exemind the experimental glider and found that a 1.6mm steel cable which runs between the cockpit brake handle and the main wheel brake acuator had seperated.
