I think it's a BZ to the stude who, when faced with a situation for which he was totally un-trained, got out and walked away, and caused no harm to anyone else. A big raspberry to the glider pilot who stoofed big time, and was lucky not to get chewed up by a fast-spinning propellor.
I'd love to have heard the "re-briefing". Sounds like a "your hat, my office, no beverages" type of event
