Definitely stall. First stall 2.31 right wing. Second stall 2.40 left wing. Flaps were in take off position, bottom bar pushed in front off the head. Only way to recover is immediately pulling the bottom bar. Luckily you seem to be OK.
That turbulence happens in a glider just before you stall it, intentionally or otherwise. The slower wing goes first and it’s a spiral dive or spin, depending on how quickly you get the nose down and the rudder across. A faster air speed would be the best prevention..
In a steady circle in still air, the inside wing stalls first because there’s actually a higher angle of attack on the inside wing. So yes, the slower wing stalls first, but not because it’s slower. In a thermal, where the inside wing in closer to the center of the thermal, this effect gets exaggerated even more.
I concur. At the age of 6 I used my sisters umbrella on my first flight. It popped inside out as soon as I stepped off the upstairs window sill. It worked for Wiley Coyote, but not me. It did hurt a lot.
My 2 cents worth... The tail that looks broken is the stitching line between the two spherical video halves that are recorded in 360 cameras. But there does seem to be some broken carbon strands on the top part which could indicate a crack. Hhhmmm...🧐 The camera buffeting at times could also indicate some flutter coming from the tail due to the crack? Though with some flaps activated this does have the effect of causing some broken airflow over the rear horizontal wing with a similar buffeting result. But without a better edit on this section it is hard to tell what effect if any this had on the flight. In general I see the problem as flying too slow - which explains the poor role response from the glider. The pilot seemed slow in pitch corrections exasperating the lack of speed. (With sufficient speed the spoilers should still have had the majority authority in role even if there was some keel crack issue). And NB, the pilot did poor role corrections with body twisting, which resulted in slow, insufficient and sometimes zero spoiler activation. Watch form 2:28 how the right spoiler is fully activated while the pilot has moved to the left of the control frame. The right spoiler remains fully activated for a while, despite the pilot having moved to the left. (Yeah, seconds seem like an eternity and counts!) Only at 2:30 does the pilot bring over his legs to the left which results in more body weight acting on the control frame control mechanism - it has the desired effect by de-activate the right spoilers and activating the left spoilers. (This explains the seemingly poor role response from the glider.) Eventually the slow speed results in the spin as the start of the accident and this cascaded into the remainder maneuvers. Big applause to the pilot for getting out the reserve in time! Good job! 😎
Guy borrowed my glider and asked if he could also have my recording gear…… hasn’t returned it but called to say he made a great video. Anyway I’m sure it’s fine.
Look at 2:28. Hard control input to port with full starboard spoileron? That starboard spoileron spends a lot of time part extended. Is there a sticky/jammed control? Looks a bit like the cable might have hung up or is not connected and the spoileron is waving in the wind. If that's the case then it's being controlled by the port spoileron only.
I was very happy to see, that pilot was ok at the end of this recording. I would be very interesting to hear/read pilot's version of what actually happened in the air?
No idea whats going on, based on limited camera info and no text from pilot regarding the accident, but appears that the tail boom was broken before launch but the glider was okay until it hit some minor turbulence, rolled, and then the broken tail (stabilizer?) induced a stall......and game over.
Are you all blind…? That tail plane stabilizer was fractured just before takeoff…maybe compromise at time of takeoff. His feedback was confusing as well as its stability for control was gone. Where was his preflight inspection???
Nick, this is effect from the 360 camera. I use that type of cameras all the time. If not edited properly in the software of the camera in post editing, it does that "broken" effect. It is not a broken tail for sure.
The keel isn't broken. It's a software stitching error. Look at the parachute bridle at the top of the frame at 2.49. The stitching error extends from the keel to the parachute bridle. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-tZ1KVfVyv38.html
The buffeting the camera is experiencing is due to lots of flap and slow speed - it was only a matter of time. Need to reduce the flaps after T/O and increase speed. Glad you’re ok.
Am I the only one to see that the tailsection was completly broken from the start? It can clearly be seen at the left side of the video most of the time. Especially when stopping in the trees.
I believe that’s an optical illusion where the boom for the fish eye lens camera connects to the tail boom, no? Because it stays “broken” in the same way all through and even after the crash-neither half has moved in relation to the other at the visual breakpoint.
É andata bene così..... Da un doppio stallo spesso non se ne esce interi.... La fortuna è stata quella di aver impattato sulle fronde degli alberi sottostanti anche grazie alla tua prontezza di aver lanciato il tuo paracadute salvavita....Che ha frenato il tuo impatto..... l esperienza insegna sempre molto ma anche agli appassionati a capire spesso come se ne esce....

That was funny as.😆. You went from gliding about in a sleeping bag to getting tangled in trees. My 6 year old grandson can’t stop laughing either. 👍
The beginning was usual? You mean to tell me that you usually take off with a busted tail boom? Or, you usually take off without a preflight inspection?
Too many mistakes, that turn .before collapsing... U catched a bubble but in the wrong way.... Happy for ur safe...maybe u should get a licence...mean u need to learn how to fly
Hummm... the tail was Brooke but not sure. Probably should of been able to fly with a broken tail. Looks like whole incident was pilot induced? What was the reason?
с самого начало полета и во время, крыло вело себя не устойчиво, плохо реагировало на управление и с большим запозданием и это опасно, Во время сваливания крыла не возможно вывести крыло в стабильный полет из за не стабильности самого крыла . Не понятно то ли поломка хвоста то ли конструкция такая, я не думаю что пилот а пилот опытный, мог так лохануться и проглядеть поломку а если проглядел это уже повод пересмотреть подход к полетам, чревато в будущим к более серьезным последствиям, не расслабляйся пилот.

Dobro ste to primetili i u prethodnim 2 leta krilo se ponasalo tako sa dosta zakanjenja na sve komande dali zbok moje male tezine ili je prethodni vlasnik nesto sam prepravljao ..pozdrav
Flying too slow with flaps on. Right wing stall, left wing stall, nose dives, parachute comes out, crash. Don't fly with flaps on, fly faster for muh better roll and pitch responce.
Get a private pilots license and learn to fly it’s not that difficult and more rewarding to know you had to study flying in order to have the right to fly.
Maybe you should worry about checking your equipment out instead of worrying about all those cameras you have on that thing that tail was broke from the beginning irresponsible
