The airplane landed hard and veered off the runway. During the approach the pilot was flying faster than normal. About 300-feet after the runway designation marking, the airplane touched down with very little flare. The airplane began to porpoise down the 20-foot wide runway. The airplane departed off the left side of the runway and collided with a berm. It continued down a slope and slid about 200-feet, with the airplane's wings colliding with several small trees. The airplane nosed over and came to rest inverted, leaving both the pilot and passenger hanging upside down. The passenger, who was also a pilot, reported no pre-impact mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane.
Probable Cause: The pilot's improper flare and his failure to maintain directional control. Contributing factors were excessive airspeed, pilot-induced oscillation, and inadequate recovery from a bounced landing.
