Default towplane collides with glider, prop hits wingtip

Any clues as to what caused the tow pilot to lose control at the end
of the runway and/or make the hard right turn into the glider's path?


Plain old taildragger-type ground loop?

Another question is what kind of brakes did that glider have? *It didn't
seem to have been doing very much stopping.

Lets all be thankful that the wingtip was the only thing chomped up by
the prop - could just as easily have been pilot hamburger!
