_Glider_Towplane_Mid-air_–_TP_PowerFLARM_Inop
True, but that's why my initial question was whether or not an attempt
was made to exit the aircraft, e.g., unlatched canopies or harnesses.Â* The posted report made no mention of either yet it did mention the wearing of parachutes. There was also no mention of losing wings, etc.Â* I believe the report said that all of the aircraft with the exception of the vertical and horizontal tail planes was found at the impact site.

Glider without tail can loose wings in quick succession, and then you don't have time to do anything anymore, no matter what the altitude is. -- Dan, 5J
