If that happened to me I suspect I wouldn't be thinking very logically immediately afterwards.

I thought I saw the nose come up in the video, not sure how quickly that glider loses airspeed, also noted the hill in the background and wondered if the change in the horizon might have been anything to do with it - it's something that has caught out a few people ridge soaring before now.
