The only circumstance under which the ultralight would fold up due to wake turbulence would be if a near collision just occurred and a huge tragedy was barely avoided.

I think it'll be easier to get used to "airprox" in place of "NMAC" than it was to say "apron" instead of "ramp."
Is this this same incident from some months ago? https://aviation-safety.net/wikibase/wiki.php?id=200652
