I feel sorry for the guy, but, man, there's really no excuse for what
he did.

True enough. At the very least he should have sought the opinion of
an experienced pilot familiar with the 210 as to the feasability
and safety of such a take off.

As a relatively low time pilot he probably should have paid an experienced
commercial pilot to fly it out to the nearest airport instead of
risking his families safety like that.

What indication is there that he's a low time pilot? It's possible, but
according to the FAA database he's had an instrument rating for at least ten
years.
