Looks like glider has run off strip on landing, so far both occupants are alright and being checked over by Ambo officers.

It came down short - probably needed a tighter circuit. Suspected back injuries never sounds good for the long term but hopefully OK.

 

I see that it is a DG-505.

Yes, I also hope that both occupants will come out of this with no permanent injuries.

 

It would be reassuring to know that the investigating police actually had a background assisting them to understand the circumstances of the event rather than just checking for AoD offences and the like.
