The student pilot was conducting a solo flight during which he was practicing full-stop landings. During his third landing, the nosewheel bounced. He added power to regain control of the airplane, but the airplane veered off the left side of the runway and continued down an embankment before coming to a stop. Examination of the airplane revealed buckling of the firewall and engine mount.
The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical malfunctions or failures of the airplane. The accident is consistent with the pilot's loss of directional control during his attempted recovery from a bounced landing.
Probable Cause: The pilot's failure to maintain directional control during recovery from a bounced landing, which resulted in a runway excursion.
