Here's a look at the issue and two potential ways to prevent it: red markings on the basetube or 3D printed basetube caps.

"My scariest hang gliding flight In [----] I broke my arm landing my hang glider during my first visit to Monroe Utah. Four years later I returned to Monroe to face my fears and try again during my second ever hang gliding competition. To get a head start on any debate ;) I believe letting go of the hang glider control frame during a high energy crash is inadvisable as it opens pilots to potential head/neck injuries from hitting the keel. Based on my current knowledge hugging the high side of the control frame is a better strategy in general if you're about to crash. And yes paragliders are"
