Spin failure and rescue opening on a safety training by Kacsa.
See description in the Tricks section.
Glider: Airwave Sport 1 „XL” (DHV 1-2)
Note: On a SIV course the pilot has to execute Spin to one side, than immediately to the other side. Everything works fine until he release the brake to exit the Spin. The glider shoots forward very asymmetrically what the pilot doesn’t control and the lower side collapses, cravatted and enters a spiral very fast. He manages to pull a Full Stall but at the same moment he got a riser twist. After he exits the Full Stall (but too early because the cravatte didn’t recovered yet) the glider accelerates into a spiral again what he cannot controls anymore.
