During landing rollout the aircraft ran off the runway and nosed over. According to a statement by the pilot, 'Skidded off runway rather than abruptly correcting problem I felt it would be safer to let aircraft coast into wheat field and then stop when all of the sudden nose wheel struck pocket gopher mound collapsing nose wheel and flipping aircraft over on back.' A postaccident examination revealed no pre-existing anomalies with the aircraft.
