The plt simultaneously applied full power as the acft hit an embankment. The acft became airborne, but the plt felt a vibration, so he reduced the power & landed & landed on a grass strip which was parallel to the asphalt rwy. After touchdown, the left main gear collapsed & the acft skidded to a stop.
