I can only hope there is some part of the connect system has been
designed to function as the weak link and that you don't understand
how it was designed the work. The alternative is that your club has
decided it's quite ok for the wings to depart the glider during a
launch.

You must understand the cable system and know that it is compatible
with your glider's limitations before you accept a launch. Your
concerns are valid.
