During the takeoff roll, the pilot's seat unexpectedly slid fully back from its adjustment. Although the pilot was now unable to maintain directional control with use of the rudder pedals, he was still able to close the throttle and abort the takeoff. The aircraft subsequently ground-looped to the left, collapsing the right landing gear before coming to rest on the side of the runway.
