Check this clip out. What does everyone think happened here?

It looks like a 182, so it had *some* muscle.
I think it must have been hot, maybe a high elevation, loaded with fuel,
people and equipment. But one passenger was a small boy so he couldn't have
been very heavy.
It also looks like a soft-field technique that was poorly executed and he
lost directional control and didn't lower the nose to build airspeed first.
Very sad,
