After a take-off interruption, the student pilot, who was flying alone, decided to turn around and land against the direction of take-off. Witnesses reported that the glider had not touched down shortly before reaching the take-off point. According to the flight instructor, the student pilot pulled on the control stick, which caused the aircraft to rear up. As a result, the glider tilted sideways and fell onto the main landing gear. It rotated about its vertical axis and suffered a fuselage spin fracture. The student pilot was uninjured.
