Rogallo Wings have bad stall characteristics

Rogallo wings have the big advantage of being simple. However if a Rogallo wing gets into a deep stall then there is nothing the pilot can do to pull out of the stall. Many early hang gliders were based upon Rogallo wings with the consequence that many early hang glider pilots are no longer alive.
