Winch Launch - Fatal

There are few things in this world which arise out of nothing, The release location in schempp hirth gliders just inside the pilots left knee/thigh is at least as old as the austrias and the shk s. the later cirri and ventus , etc, were continuing a design feature which had worked in the past.
The potential interference may never have been reported due to the rare and lethal nature of the adverse event.
