Event Details
A pilot was practicing spot landings. During the ninth approach, the aircraft was high on the approach path. The pilot executed a slip with the left wing low to correct the excess altitude. Prior to touchdown, the pilot leveled the wings but did not arrest the rate of descent.
Final Approach and Landing
The pilot stated that he applied power to initiate a go-around; however, the aircraft touched down hard and bounced. Power was reportedly not effective during this attempt. After the bounce, the pilot leveled the wings and allowed the aircraft to settle onto the runway.
Roll-Out and Gear Collapse
During the roll-out after the second touchdown, the right main landing gear collapsed.

The pilot reported that the wind at the accident site was from 030 degrees at 10 to 15 knots, with gusts to 18 knots. Approximately 26 miles northwest, at Jacksonville, Florida, the wind was from 080 degrees at 8 knots.
