Yes but related to being a lazy kid . Our club has the typical rope setup, Schweizer ring on one end and a Tost ring on the other.
It was a rather busy day and I failed to swap ends. At 2000 ft I pulled the 1-26 release and nothing happened , about 2000' ft later the Tow pilot saw me off to the side waggling my wings and released without incident . The rope passed under my nose and the wind resistance released on it's own. The small Tost ring slid up and jammed the release. Someone actually found the tow rope hanging in a tree and returned it to the airport. Last edited by Delta8 : May 16th 20 at 12:20 PM.
