According to a witness, the airplane made a short field approach to the same runway that the three previous airplanes had used. The wind, estimated at 5 knots, shifted 180 degrees, and the airplane touched down long. It ground looped, and went over a river bank at the end of the runway. The airport was located in an area surrounded by mountains, except for the river at the end of the runway, and was known for wind shifts. The pilot stated that he never noticed the wind shift.
Probable Cause: The pilot's inattention to changing wind conditions, and lack of correction for the change. A factor in the accident was the damp grass runway.
