Sorry JR, It wasn't me who had the damage. I fly RES and enjoy doing so at Visalia. There was another incident where a flyer was tightening up the winch line and just as he was to let go, the line snapped. He fell backwards after his knee gave oout and twisted. Sorry to say, he fell backward onto the plane whihc beat him to the ground.
