Inspo Open Distance Comp, dust devil on takeoff

A seasoned local pilot got inadvertently launched into the air while standing on launch waiting for a good cycle. He flew his open glider while facing it but ultimately landed back on the takeoff and was then subsequently lifted toward and deposited on the rock wall - head first. He suffered a concussion.

There are big risks with all aspects of flying mid- day, mid- summer. Many times the thing you are really worried about is not the one that will get you.
