According to the pilot, during landing roll the wind shifted to a tailwind and he applied brakes a little more than normal. Shortly afterwards he said the right brake failed and the airplane swung around and veered off the left side of the runway, slid 100 feet and came to rest in a deep gully lined with heavy wooded brush. Examination of the airplane found the right wing crumpled upwards, the right main and nose gear collapsed, and the propeller tips bent outward. The accident was not reported to the NTSB until November 16, 2005.
The pilot's excessive braking resulting in a loss of control and subsequent impact with gully. A related factor was the tailwind.
