The airplane touched down hard during an aborted landing and collapsed the main landing gear. While on the final approach leg of the traffic pattern, about 150 feet above ground level (agl), the airplane encountered a downdraft. The pilot applied full power in an effort to arrest the descent. The airplane touched down and bounced. The pilot attempted to abort the landing by applying full power. As the airplane approached the trees at the end of the runway, he elected to land ahead rather than continue the climb and risk colliding with the trees. The airplane landed hard again, collapsing the main landing gear.
Probable Cause: the pilot's inadequate bounced landing recovery technique, which resulted in a hard landing.
