There have been a couple of posts here suggesting that aborting the takeoff would have been a good idea. Assuming that it is properly done, it would be difficult to argue that it is not better than continuing in the manner that was done on this flight and crashing.
But, is aborting the takeoff really necessary when bounced into the air early due to hitting a bump? Why not just lower the nose and continue, assuming that obstacles are not a factor. I don't think that the takeoff distance would be extended significantly in this case. Aborting the takeoff could lead to an overrun if the runway is fairly short, which I believe it was. (I did look at my VFR chart a while back but can't remember the exact length at Brimpton).
