tow hook limitation question

Kevin, do you have any known examples of this happening? Flying off the
winch is very similar to a glider high scenario, yet I've never had a
problem releasing even under tension.

There have been a number of accidents apparently caused by Schweizer
hooks jamming on the tow plane when the glider gets too high. However,
most everyone has applied an approved fix from years ago, turn the
release assembly upside down and the jamming problem goes away...
