The pilot's misjudgment of speed and distance. A factor was the tires positioned at the end of the runway.

Read the full NTSB narrative

The airplane sustained substantial damage when it landed hard and subsequently departed the end of the runway. The pilot reported that the airplane was high on final approach so he slipped the airplane to lose altitude. He landed beyond the first one-third of the runway because some grass was growing on the first one-third of the runway. He reported, "The aircraft touched down hard and bounced." He increased power and then reduced it to land. Upon landing he applied brakes but the airplane departed the end of the runway. The airplane struck some truck tires positioned at the end of the runway that act as an artificial barrier. He reported that the airplane did not have a mechanical malfunction prior to the accident.
