[No official abstract. The following is derived from the report.] The glider took off on tow with the airbrakes open. At 20 feet after take-off the glider pilot saw the tug aircraft signalling with its rudder and interpreted this as a signal to cast off. He did so, and turned back towards the aerodrome. The tailplane was damaged when the aircraft clipped the fence as it crossed the boundary. When the aircraft came to a halt the pilot realised the brakes were still open. A safety recommendation was made to the President of the New Zealand Gliding Association.

On Friday 28 October 2005, at about 1547, Taieri Gorge Railway passenger Train 1910, travelling from Middlemarch to Dunedin with a crew of 4 and 21 passengers, parted between the leading passenger car XPC412 and passenger car XPC562 as the train approached Dunedin Station. After the train parted, the brakes applied automatically and the 2 sections of the train stopped about 40 metres (m) apart. The train parting resulted from the catastrophic failure of the buffer at a flash butt weld that connected the cast coupler head and forged tail.

AO-1998-001
On the morning of Friday, 9 January 1998, the pilot flew Cessna 172 ZK-EWH from Queenstown to Te Anau. The aircraft took off for the return flight, with two passengers, at about 0830 hours but did not arrive at Queenstown. Emergency location transmitter signals led to the discovery of the wreckage of ZK-EWH later in the morning. The aircraft had struck a beech-forested slope in a steeply banked attitude at an elevation of about 3300 feet, some 200 feet below a saddle between two tussock covered peaks. The pilot and passengers were killed.
