Default Wing Launch - Can it pull your wings off?

I'm sorry, Bill, I'm still not buying it. It's the word "never" that
rings my bell.


I stand by my words: A rope break shall *never* be hazardous as such. Of
course, every pilot may screw up, but that's a completely different
question and not limited to rope breaks.
