Analysis
A student plt performing touch and go landings observed another acft at the departure end of the rwy, facing him. Assuming a collision was immenent, the plt aborted the takeoff, but locked the brakes while trying to stop. The acft swerved off the rwy, the nosewheel fork broke, the strut dug into the terrain and the acft nosed over.
