the pilot's improper flare and improper recovery from a bounced landing. The inadvertent porpoise was a related factor.

After the initial touchdown, the pilot allowed the aircraft to float back into the air. He attempted to force it back onto the runway, but hit hard enough to cause the aircraft to become airborne a second time. He once again pushed the aircraft back onto the runway, this time hitting the nose gear hard enough to cause the nose wheel to separate from the strut. The aircraft slid along on the strut for about 200 feet, and then the strut dug into the terrain and collapsed. The aircraft continued to slide along on the bent propeller until coming to a stop.
