Read the full NTSB narrative
During the landing roll, the aircraft encountered uneven terrain and the pilot's feet moved to a position where his heels inadvertently applied excessive braking. Because he did not correctly reposition his feet on the rudder/brake assembly, the aircraft subsequently nosed over.
