I didn't bother to google-translate all the French text but it mentions a Cessna 210 and this pic is a 6-cyl Conti (I think) turbocharged engine.

You can break any plane if you pull back really hard at/above Vne, and while there are some (few) types out there which have never or almost never been broken, you can most definitely break a high wing Cessna, or any low-wing Piper.

But why shortly after takeoff? How shortly after takeoff? Loss of control in IMC can take you to Vne in tens of seconds or less.
