Hmm... Low level stalls on a hang-glider, putting the nose down isn't always a good idea. It is obviously a good idea to keep the wing flying if you can, but with an unexpected release at a high angle of attack this may be difficult.
Not so. I saved my own bacon once, being sucked through a saddle on a ridge and into powerlines. Simple mistake where I mistook groundspeed for airspeed. Whacked that bar into my stomach and cranked a turn for an almost decent landing atop the ridge.
Better to have some control at impact than none at all.
A sad loss of a youngpilot.
