Probable cause
The pilot's improper touchdown point while landing on the wet grass.
NTSB analysis
According to the pilot, he circled and surveyed the private grass strip three times prior to his approach. The airplane touched down approximately midfield and bounced airborne. It touched down again about two-thirds of the way down. He applied full brake pressure, although it was ineffective due to the wet grass landing surface. The airplane continued off the departure end of the runway, through a wooden fence, and came to rest 25 feet beyond the fence. The pilot reported that there were no mechanical anomalies with the airplane and that he chose not to abort the landing due to rising terrain at the departure end of the landing strip.
