Default Keep the rubber side down!

They had just landed and pushed off the runway when a big gust lifted it up and over. Ben was standing next to it and grabbed the strut to no avail, he let go from about 5ft in the air. It's not as bad as it could have been because it landed in some soft bushes. I'm so sorry to see anybody hurt their glider, and I'm glad it wasn't mine...

They got it out and apart without any additional damage.
