Landing and Refueling
A student pilot executed a landing in a farm field after losing orientation and running low on fuel. Following the landing, the student contacted his instructor, who flew to a nearby airport. The student and instructor then purchased fuel, transported it to the field, and refueled the airplane.
Takeoff Attempt
After refueling, the student and instructor began a takeoff from the rough field. As the airplane crossed over a ditch at the field's boundary, the aircraft settled, impacted the terrain, and nosed over.
Post-Accident Observations
The instructor reported that he did not walk the field to assess its condition prior to the takeoff.
