By Sparks its assumed you mean by scraping its tail on the ground n takeoff (commonly called a tail strike) This is to a degree eliminated by the fuselage of the tail being higher than the main midsection so that as the aircraft rotas on take off the tail is clear of the ground. Pilots taking off and pitching up to early will have tail strikes as they have not allowed enough ground clearance before increasing their angle of climb
