Default Avistar splat and go

I was doing a full throttle dive in to a very low down the runway pass. When the wind forced me down the extra 18 inches that I didn't have to spare. And then splat and instantly my plane was a hundred feet back up with a dead engine I managed to set it down out in the sage brush with out doing any further damage.
All it did was stuff the nose wheel back and through the bottom of the fuse, flatten out the back gears, knock out the fire wall and of course break my new prop.

This is the first time I ever had a plane bounce back up
