Glider pilot rolls inverted and exits at 1400 feet AGL

wouldn't your glider pitch up and whack you after you released the stick? On my SZD glider with trim adjustment independent of the stick, I suppose I could (in theory) set the trim position all the way forward, and then just let go of the stick, belts already off, when I was ready. Glider go down momentarily. Even with the trim set for level flight, the glider would take a second to return to level flight after you let go of the stick and hopefully you would be clear by then.
