Grass Strips, Landing Technique, etc.
I think one involved an SR-22 (which we had an extensive thread about recenty) that landed on wet grass, skidded, and then attempted a take-off and hit trees. However, it then mentioned that the person had touched down with only 1200' left on a 2700' or so long strip. I'd hardly blame such an accident on the grass. :-)
Had it been concrete, would the skid had occured? Would braking action
been sufficient to stop in the remaning runway? These are some of the
differences that might be attributable to grass.
