wouldn't your glider pitch up and whack you after you released the

Not necessarily. IIRC there was a case in Australia some years back when
a Std Cirrus bunted violently from level flight, throwing the pilot out
through the canopy. He parachuted down while the glider flew, inverted,
in circles round him all the way down and eventually landed some 10-20
metres away.
