AlexUM,
Here in the states I only fly aerotow. In my 20ish years I have done about 5 simulated rope breaks, and two real ones, though one of the real ones I was in front of the rope. I was happy the real one was at harris hill, none of this 180 degree turn stuff, just head for the edge of the ridge and figure it out from there. On my day the ridge worked enough that I was able to climb and land back, else I would have landed at our emergency field.
