The aircraft hit a rock on takeoff, damaging the undercarriage. The aircraft was just at the point of getting airborne. The impact caused enough loss of speed for the wing to drop and the propeller to strike the ground. The power was cut, and the aircraft proceeded to slide to a stop, turning 180 degrees.
