Read the full NTSB narrative

The aircraft crossed the landing threshold a little high and floated down the runway before touching down. When the aircraft touched down (approximately midfield), the pilot applied maximum braking and intentionally ground-looped in an effort to stop. The aircraft skidded off the end of a 1,500 foot runway, down an 85 foot embankment, and nosed over. The aircraft sustained substantial damage to the firewall and both wings. There were no mechanical malfunctions or failures reported by the pilot at the time of the accident.
