Read the full NTSB narrative
THE PILOT STARTED A SWATH RUN AT DUSK BY CROSSING UNDER A SET OF WIRES. AS HE CROSSED UNDER THE WIRES, ONE OF HIS MAIN GEAR STRUCK THE TOP OF A ROCK PILE. THE PILOT THOUGHT THAT BOTH OF THE MAIN GEAR HAD FAILED, AND HE ELECTED TO MAKE A BELLY LANDING IN A SLOUGH. DURING THE LANDING, THE AIRCRAFT TOUCHED DOWN ON THE REMAINING GEAR AND WENT OVER ON ITS BACK.
