Mid-Air Collisions

Your description of the accident was very articulate and sobering.

I would like to hear more about the bailout. In particular:

1. What was your approx. altitude (AGL) at collision.

2. How difficult was it for you to exit the glider and how much
altitude did you lose in the process.

3. What was your attitude when you pulled the rip cord.

4. Did you have any problems separating from the glider.

5. What brand of chute did you have.

6. Did you have any injuries landing in the trees.

7. What problems did you have getting down to the ground after landing
in the trees.

8. Did either glider have an ELT.

thx,
