## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

THE GLIDER MADE A HARD LANDING SHORT OF RUNWAY 30 AT FARIBAULT MUNICIPAL AIRPORT, WHICH WAS ALSO THE DEPARTURE POINT. IT THEN BOUNCED AND LANDED ON A TAXIWAY WHERE THE MAIN GEAR SEPERATED AND THE RIGHT WINGTIP STRUCK THE PAVEMENT SHEARING THE WINGTIP WHEEL. THE GLIDER THEN TURNED 90 DEGREES TO THE RIGHT AND SLID AN ADDITIONAL 100 FEET INTO THE GRASS AND STOPPED. THE EMPANNAGE OF THE GLIDER WAS BROKEN OFF APPROXIMATELY 6 FEET FROM THE AFT END OF THE AIRCRAFT.
