It was still a piss poor idea to rotate even though there evidently wasn't even close to enough speed to make a safe takeoff. He probably should've kept the plane on the ground and put it through the field.

No, you are trained that if you can get it up, you get it up. Air gets out of your way, while the ground doesn't. Getting airborne past V2 gives you time and options if any exist. Running into something takes your options away.

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.
