Winch Launch Cable Break
To be fair Rod1 with a winch launch you have a limited time to get as much altitude as possible, that said, I was always taught to transition in to the full climb gently to avoid climbing too steeply low down.
I know one person that ended up in hospital (actually two including the instructor) and a k13 that suffered severe damage because they had a low cable break and did not have time/height to lower the nose and regain flying speed before they hit the ground.
