It will take off – backwards. It will hover in ground effect for a moment, then stall and crash back on the runway. The impact on the moving belt will collapse the undercarriage and the aircraft will travel backwards on the decelerating belt until it comes to a stop alongside the waiting fire tenders.

Believe me – I’ve seen it happen many times.
