Pilot Report
According to the pilot, while flying over the grass runway, it appeared "rough but serviceable." During the landing, he found the surface was extremely rough with tall weeds.
Departure and Accident Sequence
During departure, acceleration was "less than normal" due to the vegetation. When the airplane reached the pilot's planned abort point, the pilot realized that he had misjudged the abort point for the runway. He initially thought his selected abort point was about 800 to 1,000 ft before the end of the runway, but it was actually about 100 to 200 ft before the end. The airplane overran the runway, crossed a road, and struck a barbed wire fence.
Damage
The airplane sustained substantial damage to the fuselage and left wing.
Mechanical Condition
The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
Runway Information
The Federal Aviation Administration Airport Facility Directory for the accident airport stated: "[Runways] not recommended for [takeoff or landing]."
