You know, I almost wonder if the pilot's seat didn't slip back on him. That
might explain the cocked attitude going down the runway. If his load was
marginal (and it sure looked like it was) it would have been easy to lose it
while trying to reach the rudder pedals without pulling back the yoke at the
same time as he tried to scoot forward. Plausible?

I'd say it is plausible as this has been know to happen on Cessna's with
worn seat rails and was the course of an SB or maybe even an AD, I can't
remember now the details.
