Testing insta360 X3 with a nice collapse :-)
PS: I read some comments about the "hand holding the risers" which could lead to problems and to the collapse itself. I'd like to point out some thoughts about it.
1.I'm not "holding" the risers. My hand is very close even touching it sometimes because sometimes I can use the B handle (it's a two liner) in thermals instead of the brakes to controll the external wing.
2. If I was not in full controll of the glider I could not stop the very sudden surge that happend after the frontal. In this case the glider needs to come back to fly again after the collapse. The problem is to have the correct timing and input to make it surge and then stop it before it goes to far to a "zero" angle that would make it collapse again and that would be a very bad scenario that can lead to uncontrolled configurations cascade, and with that low altitude over the tree/ground it's going bad with no time to have the reserve out. I had good luck and probably an instictive, automatic, reaction when things happend very fast and suddenly and there's no time to think. I give credit for it to SIV and training. So I would suggest anyone to go for SIV, in my opinion is the best way to improve safety on your flying experience. Blus skies to everybody.
