THE PILOT STATED THAT THEY WERE ON THE TAKEOFF ROLL WHEN HIS SEAT FAILED AND HE FELL BACKWARD AWAY FROM THE FLIGHT CONTROLS AND THE THROTTLE. THE AIRPLANE VEERED LEFT, OFF THE RUNWAY, CROSSED A SMALL DITCH, A ROAD AND THEN IMPACTED IN A VERY LARGE DRAINAGE DITCH. THE AIRPLANE STARTED BURNING AS THE PILOT AND HIS PASSENGER DEPARTED THE AIRPLANE AND WAS DEMOLISHED BY IMPACT AND POST-IMPACT FIRE. DUE TO THE FIRE DAMAGE OF THE SEAT, THE SEAT ADJUSTMENT AND THE SEAT RETENTION SYSTEM, THE POINT OF FAILURE CANNOT BE DETERMINED.
