Narrative
The private pilot of a personal flight reported that during a visual approach to a grass runway, he observed the airplane's ground speed was higher than usual. He selected a higher wing flap setting to reduce speed and maneuvered to avoid obstructions on and to the side of the glide path. Although he considered performing a go-around, he decided to continue the approach. The pilot later realized that his attempts to slow the airplane were unsuccessful because of a tailwind.
Upon touchdown on the grass runway, the airplane bounced twice and did not decelerate. The airplane subsequently overran the departure end of the runway, colliding with a fence and trees. The pilot stated there was no mechanical malfunction or failure of the airplane.
Aircraft Damage
The airplane sustained substantial damage, including damage to the left wing.
Pilot Actions
The pilot acknowledged that he could have performed a go-around but opted to continue the approach despite the higher ground speed and tailwind conditions.
