Default Does anyone use a tug tow hook that releases automatically whenglider kites?

Let's say I'm on low tow and fly perpendicular to the "tube" of rotor (aka horizontal circular air flow/ vortex)...

The tug goes abruptly up, the glider goes abruptly down. When the glider pulls down on the tug tail, can it increase the tug AOA and stall the tug wings?
