380 ft of paved surface, 550 ft to the trees, and about 15 kts direct headwind at start of roll. Field elevation 1,150 ft so guess DA no more than 3,000 ft. There appears to be no fence before reaching the tree line. Easily enough room for my aircraft but I think I would have gone to the main runway and waited for a lull in the cross wind. The wind shifts close to 45 degress during the ill fated takeoff attempt.

I have to wonder how much the pilot was influenced by having someone present to take the video.
