Same can happen to any of us. I had a ESM Hurricane. It was always a PITA to land. I was flying when the cross wind got worse. It had a high wing loading. Touched down on the mains, just a small bounce, then with the tail still up, started going right with the wind. I put in full left rudder, was not enough. Hit a cyclone fence, cartwheeled down the fence and totally destroyed the plane. The good part was all the hardware survived to be used in another plane.
