Narrative:
Due to a mini tornado, the aircraft failed to remain airborne as it was taking off from an agricultural airstrip. The pilot then dumped the spray load from the aircraft as the aircraft was making contact with the ground. An area of long grass and thistles then prevented the aircraft from becoming airborne. One of the main landing gear then separated from the aircraft and the other was damaged.
