I too couldn't see what the problem was - until I opened "more" at the side of the picture - Rans S6 hit the towline of another aircraft - must have been banner or glider towing. Ouch

You can hear the cable ripping through the structure as well Graham....

The pilot can be lucky the cable did not enter the cockpit, that may have got messy.............
