Analysis
The plt report that during the landing roll, he encountered a bump on the rwy & the acft became airborne aprx 5 to 10 ft. he elected to go around rather than continue the landing since there was not enough room to recover & stop safely. While attempting to go-around, the acft hit the vertical stabilizer of another plane parked near the left side of the rwy. The acft then slid along a parking lot & hit a parked car & a 2nd parked acft.
