Fortunately, have never been in a crash. However, a few years ago during an
off field landing, the glider wheel fell into a ground hog hole while I was
still rolling at about 20 mph. The glider stopped instantly with damage to
the gear mechanism. The ELT activated.

I would count this as a successful activation
