Probable cause
THE PILOT'S IMPROPER FUEL TANK SELECTION AND THE SUBSEQUENT LOSS OF ENGINE POWER DUE TO FUEL STARVATION. A FACTOR WAS THE LACK OF SUITABLE TERRAIN.

FOLLOWING A DESCENDING TURN FROM DOWNWIND TO BASE THE PILOT ADDED POWER, HOWEVER, THE ENGINE DID NOT RESPOND. HE SWITCHED TANKS FROM THE LEFT TO THE RIGHT AND TURNED THE FUEL BOOST PUMP ON, THIS HAD NO EFFECT ON ENGINE POWER AND THE PILOT THEN RESELECTED THE LEFT TANK. THE PILOT EXECUTED A FORCED LANDING TO AN OPEN FIELD. DURING THE FORCED LANDING THE AIRPLANE LANDED HARD AND DURING THE LANDING ROLL THE AIRPLANE NOSE GEAR COLLAPSED IN THE SOFT EARTH, CAUSING THE AIRPLANE TO NOSE OVER TO THE INVERTED POSITION.
