I think that a backup stake would work. The first stake lets go because it's being
repeatedly pulled at. I doubt that the backup would get pulled out if the primary
stake lets go.
Either that, or a parachute, will be SOP at my glider field from now on.
Morris, Jim, you reading?

Would it be helpfull at all the have the main stake tied into another, backup stake by
a slack line which is not continuously being stressed by launches? I guess that could
be potentially more dangerous if the first stake
could suddenly yank the second stake out of the ground when the first lets go, though.
