Aerobatic Glider Accident Video

Said to be a recent aerobatic accident in Germany. No known details. Can you translate what is said at the end of the video? What is the glider type?

Stop cluttering things up with multiple posts on same issue/question.....replied in your first thread.....

The accident happened in Poland and I would argue that this is hardly an aerobatic accident.

Glider looks to be a SZD-9 'Bocian'.
That's not an accident during aerobatic flight; more like caused by 'hot-dogging' or 'show-boating'.
In any case, terrible to watch this - hope both occupants survived!

Avoidable and stupid

That flight did not rise to the level of stupid. It was all but suicidal.

I had the accident report, but can't find the link right now. I believe it was report 1070/18, but I can't locate the Polish digital archiving agency through Google.

The report I looked at last week has shots from the passenger's camera that show he was well into the yellow on the airspeed indicator on final approach and he had a tailwind.

You don't have to read Polish to understand most of what happened.

Here's the translated findings:

The Commission found that:
1. The glider possessed all technical and operational documents.
2. The pilot had the necessary qualifications to perform the flight.
3. The pilot performed acrobatics on a glider not admitted to aerobatics due to the year
glider production (over 25 years).
4. The pilot performed acrobatics below the height of 300 m.
5. The pilot tried to make a 180 ° turn to the landing pad at too low a height and speed.

Thanks for that report, Paul! Google-Translate revealed that there were no fatal, one serious and one light injury (seventh line). Not hard to figure out who suffered which injury.
So avoidable!

The worst thing is that the pilot was an instructor and the passenger was there only for a ride. The passenger was in the front and he/she was the one that ended up with serious injures. This pilot/instructor needs to spend some time in jail.
