Default Glider Crash in CA



The pilot's NTSB doesn't seem to match up with the video that well.


The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this accident as follows:
The pilot's inadequate in-flight planning/decision to maneuver the glider where the lift was not sufficient to maintain flight, resulting in an off airport landing.


I agree, the pilots statement and NTSB determination do not seem to match up what I saw in the video either. I guess I will have to remember if I happen to fubar and walk away, I will have to say it was a planned off airport landing and I intentionally stalled.
