How does that work? Do you push the knob forward to the detent to
deploy the chute and then outboard and forward again to jettison? What
type of glider is that?

One wonders if the inclusion of a tail parachute would have been a better option on these slippery open class ships with tricky recovery envelopes?
You would need a reliable means to jettison the chute at the right moment.
Like the blue knob low on the right hand cockpit wall in my glider here, you mean?

First stop deploys the chute. Zig right and all the way forward to jettison it.

Not the same glider, but looks like the same model:
