Default Kawa rough landing?

I saw a pilot entering a spin with an ASW20 after an aborted winch launch at 250 ft AGL. Did a full turn before recovery, levelling out and land. Walked away, not a single scratch on the glider.

Speedy and muscle-trained recovery gives you a chance to survive errors. And people do make errors.
