The pilot reported that there were no preimpact mechanical malfunctions or anomalies with the airplane. He additionally stated that the accident may have been prevented if he had applied the throttle gradually.
Probable Cause: The pilot's failure to maintain directional control during takeoff due to his abrupt advancing of the throttle.
