We adapt and fly on, lesson learned each time.
Weak-links break! They are supposed to...we are ready for that. It's what we do.

Weak-link broke at 337 ft. Just enough altitude to do a pattern. Lesson learned: don't forget to change your weak-link.

I have personally had numerous weak link breaks on tow, both low and high, after hitting turbulence and have never felt in danger of a tumble. I have witnessed countless others have weak link breaks with no serious problems. We train aero tow pilots how to handle this situation and I am certain that Zach had also encountered this situation many times before and knew how to react properly.
Gawd I hope one of the Quest motherfuckers eats it but hard and soon. ANY of them.

Oh well, nice to see the wheel landing.
