Default Cirrus collides with Glider/Towplane

This doesn't look good for our sport. It seems that the Cirrus hit
the towline and the towplane and Cirrus went down despite the
ballistic chute on the Cirrus. The glider released and landed
safely. But guess where the blame will lay....

This may be the last straw for gliders having mandatory
transponders....
