Analysis
The private plt attempted a takeoff from his short farm field strip. During the takeoff ground run, the plt realized the acft would not have flying speed and clear the fence at the end of the field. He elected to try to jump the acft over the fence and land on the other side. The nose gear cleared the fence but the main gear caught the wire. After landing on the other side of the fence, the plt found several hundred ft of barbed wire attached to the landing gear.
