Sometimes you do have to act quickly
My so far worst flying moment was my third flight in my third single seat glider and my first one in that glider behind a Pawnee.
The trim setting (as recommended in the manual) that worked fine behind a Citabria had me way above the Pawnee in the blink of an eye and I very quickly got my nose down. Yes, a little bit too much correction as I bounced off the ground. Doing nothing was not an option as there was a distinct danger that I would pull up the Pawnee's tail and cause a propstrike. I could have released, but that comes with its own set of problems, especially establishing sufficient airspeed from low altitude and not much airspeed.
After the bounce I was established in the proper position without further oscillation. The glider did not feel right and I discovered that the spoilers had come unlocked, likely from the bounce.
Put the spoilers back, continued the tow and parked in a thermal to let the adrenaline come down.
So while in most cases, doing nothing and thinking for the first few moments is the best option when faced with bad news, sometimes you have to be quick.
And these days, I err on the side of forward trim.
