Really sorry to hear about the crash.
I can really identify with how you must fee, I had an undercarriage leg fail
about a month ago resulting all the gear being ripped off and a slide into
the mid field of the airport of 214 metres ( measured by the authorities ) .
Thank goodness we are in drought conditions as the dirt was like sliding on
ice, scary but not a scratch on pilot or passenger.  Pics attached.

Hi Baz,

Glad no one was injured.  You have a better excuse than I do. :)
Seeing your picture definitely means more to me that it would have a
week ago.  Skidding was good.  I ripped off a gear leg when it dug in,
then the nose dug in.  Stopping distance was probably about 40 feet
with a 120 deg rotation.  When I was working on my seats, the passenger
shoulder harness seemed to lock up a lot easier than the pilot one
did.  I wasn't sure the pilot one was working.  I have a light bruise
across my shoulder and chest to attest to it's proper functionality.  I
didn't see that one for 2 or 3 days.
