Analysis
While landing after a short local flight, the pilot did not stop the glider on the grass runway (2,500 feet by 200 feet). The glider traveled off the end of the runway where it contacted a parked vehicle. A witnessed stated that it appeared as if the pilot did not apply the wheel brake during the landing roll. The forward bulkhead on the glider was substantially damaged.
