Hey Filipp, it looks like you were letting yourself get pulled through the A-frame while the glider was still in the cart (the basetube looks like it was at your belly button before the glider comes off the cart). Malcolm (at Wallaby) said that's dangerous because your glider can potentially nose in and dive into the ground as you release the dolly cart (and I know this from actual personal experience that I fortunately survived). PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE review the "rigid arm requirement" on page 160-161 of Towing Aloft textbook by Dennis Pagen. I've witnessed too many AT launch crashes because pilots are pulling in prior to take off.
