The aircraft was on the apron 30m from the Club House warming up the engine. The park brake was applied lightly and the revs were increased. The aircraft moved forward and the pilot reached to apply more brake. In doing so their right hand became entangled in the passenger seat belt. The pilot then took their left hand off the throttle to untangle their right hand, and inadvertently bumped the throttle which increased the revs dramatically. The aircraft surged forward and veered to the left. Before the pilot had time to untangle their hand the aircraft had struck the building.
