Inside camera shot. The pilot enters a very high Tumbling, but at the exit he brakes way too less, so the glider shoots very violent and he falls nearly into the canopy, then throws the rescue...

When the tumbling is so high like here, you cannot stop with normal braking anymore - like you are used to stop a tumbling. You have to stall the glider earlier, before the brake pressure gets so high, that you cannot pull anymore. Once you killed the energy in the stall, you can immediately release on the brake and let the glider shoot forward (or stall it out if you are not confident..)
The second turn looks pretty high (the glider does that infinity-kind movement...). Had that problem a few times too. When I realize that the turn is going to be really high due to late brake timing or "better-than-thought" rhythmic braking I start braking much earlier and harder ( I don´t know exactly when, but I think the glider is still lower than me). Chances are that the wing is quite ugly u-shaped while braking out the energy but it reopens quickly (if you let go in the right moment.)
Don´t know if this is the right way, but it works for me.

wow, had the same situation a few weeks ago..
furtunately I didn't fell into the lines and could recover with fullstalling
