Default Tow pilot killed, but reported as a glider crash!

Having seen a couple of posts regarding 'tug aerobatics'
while on tow, and 'spinning tug and glider while on
tow,' this comes as a rather tragic and timley reminder..........

How many of us fly with our hand on the bung all through
the tow?

Are you alert enough to pull off before the tug waves
you off?
