I saw a very low KE two years ago. Very high speed pass. Plane rolled to KE. It was so low that the wing touched the runway and started to grind away. Plane did not cartwheel. Plane eventually rolled out of the KE, flew around some and then landed. Upon inspection after landing, one wing was now about 3" shorter than the other.
Yes, he was flying on some of that swampland he bought next to Disneyworld!
