Sadly, these and a few other similar incidents seem to have a factor in common, which is less to do with the aircraft, and more to do with the profile of pilot flying it.
How true. The PA32 is very unforgiving of poor technique. They will perform very well when flown correctly.

I'll also bet the 200 pilot had a significant amount of Cessna time, where raising the nose and holding it there works pretty well all the time, unfortunately this is an invitation for disaster on the PA 32 and some other aircraft.

Unless it was grossly over weight I would have thought 735 metres of sealed runway would have been an adequate take of distance.
