Read the full NTSB narrative
According to the pilot, he completed several touch and go's with "no difficulty," during a "moderate crosswind." During the final landing, the airplane touched down on the runway, then began to porpoise. As the airplane bounced the second time, a gust of wind blew it to the right side of the runway. The airplane continued off the runway and over an embankment, and subsequently nosed over and collided with a fence. There were no mechanical anomalies with the airplane.
