More flight school follies -- Toronto Island

"UPDATE: TSB Report#A15O0043: C-GSAR, a Cessna 172 aircraft, with a solo student pilot was conducting crosswind takeoffs and landings on Runway 26 at Toronto BBTCA, when the aircraft exited the left side of the runway.
The student applied power, took off and continued circuits for another 20 minutes. It was later discovered that the aircraft had sustained damage to both the left and right wings and had damaged two airport ground antennas. The aircraft is currently grounded and waiting for a ferry permit to fly out for repairs."
Found this gem. Hits attennas, goes back on runway, full power, doesn't tell anyone. Wow.....
Now once in a FTU plane on a really dark night I missed the taxiway, taxied onto the grass. Didn't hit a thing but I confessed that immediately, no damage other than really muddy tires. Still wouldn't think of doing otherwise!
Gotta wonder....
