Probable cause
The pilot’s failure to attain a proper touchdown point during landing with a tailwind which resulted in a runway overrun.

Read the full NTSB narrative
The pilot of the airplane reported that, while on final approach to the runway, the wind shifted, causing him to land with a tailwind. The pilot realized that he wouldn’t be able to stop the airplane on the runway, but believed the fence at the end of the runway prevented him from safely performing a go-around. The airplane overran the departure end of the runway, striking the fence and an occupied vehicle before impacting terrain. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the wings and empennage. The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
