On landing, the airplane veered off the runway, struck a taxiway sign, and sheared off the main landing gear. The student was on his first supervised solo flight. He completed one landing, taxied back, and the accident occurred on the second landing. He maintained an approach speed between 70 and 75 knots until over the numbers. He had the flaps at 40 degrees and the throttle in about 1/2 inch. He reduced the throttle by half to land and landed a hard on the main gear. The airplane bounced about 2 feet back into the air, so he fully reduced the power and the airplane settled back to the runway. The airplane began to veer to the right; he countered with a little left rudder, but did not feel a correction. He thought the airplane would leave the runway, and removed his right foot from the rudder pedal. He stomped on the left pedal, but could not prevent the airplane from departing the runway.
Probable Cause: Failure of the student pilot to maintain directional control during landing.
