Shortly after releasing the aero tow rope, the glider crashed in a forest north of the Col du Mollendruz.
The accident was caused by a loss of control of the aircraft which led to a stall at low flying height, resulting in a collision with the ground.
The use of speed brakes prior to the release of the tow rope, which remained unexpectedly deployed until the collision with the ground, was considered a contributing factor.
