Accident Overview
The airplane experienced a hard landing and subsequent runway excursion, resulting in substantial damage. According to the pilot, the approach was high, prompting him to execute a slip maneuver to reduce altitude. The pilot reported that he landed beyond the first one-third of the runway because grass was growing on that section.

The pilot stated, "The aircraft touched down hard and bounced." Following the bounce, he increased power and then reduced it to land. Upon touchdown, he applied brakes, but the airplane continued beyond the runway end. It struck several truck tires positioned at the end of the runway that served as an artificial barrier.
