Glider Towplane Mid-air – TP PowerFLARM Inop
Once the initial negative G of the pitch over passed, the vertical
descent is essentially a zero G situation.Â* It should be really easy to get unstrapped and out.Â* Perhaps it was simply denial of what was happening.Â* Given an altitude at or above 2,000' initially, it would take over 5 seconds to reach the ground, probably 6 to 8 seconds.

The report does not mention whether the canopies were released. -- Dan, 5J
