While landing, the airplane bounced. The pilot stated that he attempted to correct for the '...slight crosswind...' and subsequently departed the runway into the grass adjacent to the runway. The pilot said that the aircraft 'slowed rapidly [and] went into [a] dip in [the] infield and flipped over.' A postaccident examination of the aircraft revealed no preexisting anomalies.
