The pilot attempted to takeoff from a grass field that was about 1,800 feet long, with wet grass that was between 4 and 5 inches tall. The pilot reported that the airplane would not accelerate to takeoff speed, and then elected to abort the takeoff. He applied brakes; however, the airplane began to slide and struck trees at the end of the field.
Probable Cause: The pilot's delayed decision to abort the takeoff, which resulted in an overrun. A factor was the dew on the grass.
