Deflation on Speed Bar Central Utah Non Injury

A pilot flying an intermediate glider was on speed bar at a few hundred feet and suffered a large deflation. The glider did not recover before landing. The pilot deployed the reserve but it did not open in time. Pilots are reminded not to push speed bar when low. Also, the decision to throw the reserve was a good one. On a different day or a bit higher, it may have opened. There is no such thing as too low.
