The point is this "cartwheel scenario" has happened before.
I believe there was a case in Europe not that long ago.

You need to be "very very" quick on release if the down wing
does not move forward with the winch launch as the upper wing
starts flying and lifts up and can throw the glider/you into an
end over end cartwheel,


You don't start with a "down wing". You prop the wings so
they're level.
