A Partenavia P.68 used for skydiving flights at Kalundborg had completed three sorties. On the fourth, with six jumpers aboard, the pilot could not get airborne in time and aborted the takeoff. To avoid people at the runway end he steered onto soft ground, where the nose gear collapsed and the left wing was partly torn off. All six passengers got out and the pilot was slightly injured.
