Not required, by worthwhile, training

Wow! I heard about gliders rolling inverted but never heard about gliders pitching inverted. This is something more common with tailless aircrafts such as hang gliders. Was it just a little pass 90 degrees down or you were looking up at the ground? I imagine recovering from this is much more dangerous than rolling inverted as more speed is building up. Good choice activating the spoilers.

the tug goes inverted or is pointing back at the glider. That was some
sage advice.
