JTSB Bericht - Hokkaido - ASK 13 F-Schlepp

"The JTSB concludes that the probable cause of this accident was most likely that while the glider was launched by a winch, the winch operator misunderstood that the towline was cut and stopped the winch operation, but the glider was not able to recognize it and maintained the climb attitude, thus, it became far below the stall speed, the glider made a hard landing, the glider sustained damage, and the persons on board suffered injuries. ..."
