THE ACFT OVERRAN THE END OF THE RWY AND STRUCK AN EMBANKMENT DURING AN ABORTED TAKEOFF. THE PLT REPORTED THAT SHORTLY AFTER TAKEOFF, THE ACFT SETTLED BACK ON THE RWY. HE REDUCED THE ENGINE POWER TO IDLE, RAISED THE FLAPS AND ATTEMPTED TO STOP THE ACFT TO NO AVAIL. THE PLT SPECULATED THAT THE PASSENGER IN THE RIGHT FRONT SEAT MAY HAVE UNINTENTIONALLY LOWERED THE FLAPS TO THE FULL DOWN POSITION BY HITTING THE FLAP HANDLE WITH HIS LEFT KNEE. POST ACCIDENT TESTING REVEALED THAT THIS SCENARIO WAS POSSIBLE.
