Wow, that's impressive! Was the glider in an uncontrolled climb when
the bale out was initiated or had the cable broken?


I can only quote the reply to your posting:

--- snip ---
I heard a story about a guy with an ASW19 who realised the elevator
wasn't connected when winch launching, and what I think I heard was
that
he waited until it reached the top of the climb and jumped,
successfully.

You only need to replace the term "guy" with "girl".
