Extremely lucky that she didn’t slide backwards off the mountain. Single blade damage reflects that the engine had stopped and the bend that it acted as a brake. One landed in a field and had to play one armed bandit getting the straps and canopy off whilst holding onto the wheel brake to stop the glider running back downhill.
