Judging from my lawn-chair, I'm tempted to say: Watch your airspeed!
Not only the airspeed. As the load factor may be high despite the pilot
doesn't feel it, the angle of attack may be near the stall angle with a
speed well over the normal 1g stall speed. Maybe the only symptom of the
near stall angle of attack in this case is the loss of roll damping and
the ensuing tendancy to drop a wing which is much more easily countered
with the rudder than the elevator. The fact that the glider involved in
the accident started to bank to the right may be an indication that this
was the case.
