A collision, photos of the surviving sailplane

On December 23 there was a collision between 2 gliders in Italy. The
private ASW28 and the club's ASK21 were both soaring the ridge in a
mild northerly wind, in opposite directions. Excellent visibility, low
sun position.

There was no escape for the 28's pilot, age 65. His glider crashed
into the slope.
The P2 on the K21 tried to bailout, but could't open the canopy,
probably due to deformations of the cockpit.
P1 thus selected to try a landing on the near, well known off-field
landing area. He managed to land and both pilots were unharmed. The
glider was missing one aileron and the damage to the trailing edge was
also substantial.

As far as I know, the two-seater wasn't fitted with a flarm unit.
I also miss any information about the 28, it's impact point/s etc.
