The uncertified pilot reported that the main landing gear collapsed on touchdown. The airplane landed hard and proceeded to bounce twice on the runway before the nose gear collapsed, and skidded off the right side of the runway. The right main landing gear collided with a runway light, and the airplane then nosed over. No mechanical malfunctions were reported with the airplane. The unqualified pilot did not possess a valid medical or pilot certificate at the time of the accident.
