Description of events as best known:
Armin was launching from a Small steep grassy take off over a cliff.
Armin Slipped during the run, lost his balance on the left causing a small weight shift on the wing that turned a little and catching with the left side lines a rock 1/3 of the lines ripped almost all the full left side. Due to the steepness of the take-off was impossible to stop and the wing dragged him airborne and due to the damage spun into the rocks next to the cliff.
This was the 3rd flight that day on the same line.
