Are you sure that it was the pilots who caused the aircraft to rotate?

Or that the aircraft had not over-rotated and lost enough lift to no longer be controllable (excessive angle-of-attack)... or that it had NOT been at a higher altitude before this happened?

Like maybe high enough to clear the cliff?

It is very possible that this could have happened...but without a flight recorder, there would be no evidence of those events.
