I did a simulated double release failure touch-and-go, followed by a
simulated rope break as part of my Commercial glider ride in a 2-33.
Used spoilers as appropriate to maintain position - nothing
particularly scary about any of it, if done properly.

It's pretty funny that people who haven't done LOTs think it's scary,
dangerous, insane, etc. and those who have done them think the
excercise is a "non-event".
Yes, the chance of needing it due to double release failure is about
nil.
The experience of completing a LOT is a confidence builder.
Done these in a few different types.
It's not dangerous. The three instructors, two of which did them from
both ends of the rope, did great on the first one.

Got to go, there are a few landouts at the Australian Club and Sports
Class Nationals and I'll need to crew.
