Somewhere around half a mile down the runway there was a voice in the back of that guys head that said "this looks bad, I should abort." Next to that voice was a louder one that said something like "no, an abort would be really embarrassing, I promised these guys a ride". After they struggled into the air, the first voice said "this is not working, let's land in that clearing to the right." The second voice still over ruled. How many chances does a guy need?
He must of been puckered up pretty good, but not enough to overcome his pride.
Spot on post....This guy had more than a few chances to see that the plane wasn't going to fly.

Tool doesn't even begin to define this guy.
Did you read the description above the video, they claim it was due to hitting an air pocket shortly after takeoff.
They are all extremely lucky to be alive.
Graphic clip, but would be a great resource to demonstrate the dangers of poor performance planning.

A good case study of poor ADM and the hazardous attitude called invunerability.

Back to the heading bug nazis, I once flew with a guy who was so anal about it and had such a lack of SA that when I was flying IN HEADING MODE AND IN THE MIDDLE OF AN ASSIGNED TURN he would center the heading bug. It was a long month.

The pilot of this airplane, who operates it well in excess of its performance capabilities (looks like overweight, high density altitude, or both) and, luckily, doesn't kill everyone when he crashes it.

The Air-Pocket is located right beside the Lint-Trap and these to very special regions create idiot (so-called) private pilots like this flea-bag.
I believe his motto is:
If at first you don't succeed.
Keep on SUCKING till you do succeed!
