Analysis
Previously, the acft had been landed in a 1000 ft fld when the eng quit during a simulated emergency while on a dual instructional flt. The instructor plt decided to leave the student there & fly the acft back to the arpt. He walked down the field & made an 'x' in the damp 6 inch tall grass where he would abort the takeoff, if necessary. He initiated a takeoff, but was not airborne by the time he reached the 'x', so he aborted. When the acft got close to a fence at the end of the field, the plt realized he would not be able to stop in time, so he turned left into an area of 12 inch grass. At that time, the acft began sliding. The right gear hit a furrow & the right wing hit the ground, then the acft nosed over.
