I'd like to see the V numbers on this guy and the weight and balance numbers. I don't know if he could've even made it much past his V2. A forced takeoff is always risky, but usually turns out okay, you've got to use good judgement as to whether you think you can get a decent rate of climb.

I'm guessing at that distance he never made it to V1, and no doubt put some G on the airframe, slowing him even more. What I want to know is if he tried to clean up the plane minus flaps and lower the nose for airspeed. I don't want to speculate, but if he had enough speed to get it up, if he hit the gear immediately, pushed the nose down and stayed full flaps, he might have gotten out of it. But not if he hit something, which appears to be the case with that hanger.
