On the winch, if the wing drops, release immediately, you don't have time to consider your options. There's a good chance you can't do it fast enough, and it's going to hurt.
The wing runner isn't going to do a lot of running, if they start you from a balanced position, (which might be slightly different than wings level), and your control inputs are neutral, you will have aileron control and flying speed very quickly after the "All Out" calls.

At my club we try to emphasise that the wing runner should not allow the launch to start if there is a significant up or down force on the wingtip.

Someone mentioned water ballast - I think that is very significant, as a low wing allows water to flow towards the tip and make that wing heavier, making recovery less likely.
