Default Glider release failure?

Witnessed this happening with an SZD-9 Bocian, not being able to release after having been winched to 1000ft. The pilot yanked the release while trying to descend, circling in place. He then asked the passenger in the front seat to pull the release, eventually they got rid of the rope at around 500ft.
