Itīs clear that the aircraft was close to the stall. There is almost no other way it should impacted tail first.
If the problem with the reverser is rulled out, probably the main cause should be an anormal take off config or CG position.
If you are bellow the real rotation speed for your config is easy to raise the nose, if you continue to picth up and you have ground effect probably the a/c is going to lift off.
I never have seen this in the sim, but I believe that if you manage to go to the air bellow your rotation and V2 speed and put a normal take off actitude, you will begin to lose speed very fast and that will make your AOA increase.
That is consecuent with the loss of control of the aircraft and the impact actitude of the plane.
