What happened
The incident occurred shortly after the aircraft departed the runway. At an altitude of approximately 150 feet above ground level, the pilot initiated the retraction of the flaps. Immediately following this action, the airspeed decreased significantly, triggering the stall warning light.
The pilot reported that there was insufficient runway remaining to abort the takeoff safely. As the aircraft descended toward the ground, the pilot attempted to flare for landing. The airplane impacted the surface with excessive force, resulting in a hard landing that caused the landing gear to collapse.

No specific mechanical examination details were provided in the source text. The narrative focuses solely on the pilot's actions and the immediate sequence of events during the flight phase.
