Thank you for making those analysis videos. Almost no one does them, and the analysis, not just the footage of accidents is the most valuable. If you could make more of them, please.
Great video! Your SIV skills will have prepared you for two important things during this incident: 1: What to do during the collapse - how much opposite weightshift and brake the glider needs to keep your course without a) turning into the collapse or b) overbraking into a stall. 2: What to do during recovery - you knew WHEN to brake the recovering, surging wing, and HOW MUCH brake to use. These things are missing from most pilot's skillset and without them the result could have been an accident. Well done!
Excellent report Richard, and chapeau to you for putting yourself oout there to discuss it. Just shows the value of all your SIV training and practice.
Great as a teaching aid , I flew yesterday and had to tell 2 pilots flying about that they had knots in their lines! We all need to do proper pre flight checks especially in relation to your lines , even more so if you fly a 2 liner banana skin.
Great video, glad you're ok. Fantastic information I would appreciate more on the incident and what you did to recover it though. Almost repeating the steps in flight maybe with pauses to highlight your recovery and perhaps (sorry) less of the bedroom and conservatory. I think it's going to be very impactful on me and I will watch the latter half again and again and again and go get some siv... Thanks once again great piece and glad you're ok. ✌🏽❤️

Really good recovery and debrief, thank you for sharing the learning.
Thanks, pleased you found it useful

Well done for sharing Ricardo. How much line do you estimate the knot was taking?
I'd **guess** about 50mm.
