A very experienced pilot flying a familiar wing was thermalling and then pushing speed bar to transition to in between thermals on a post frontal day.
He suffered a surprise asymmetric deflation in which one line caught on his helmet. This precluded him from being able to recover and it also made reaching the reserve impossible.
He suffered a broken femur.
We will respectfully wait for the pilot to share his summary of the events before drawing an conclusions and we reserve the right to amend this report to reflect facts that are revealed over time.
