The pilot stated that after landing and while making a wide right turn to back taxi, a gust of wind pushed the airplane off to the left side of the runway. Inspection of the airplane revealed that the left main gear brace support bracket and pivot bolt failed due to overload conditions.
Probable Cause: the pilot's inadequate compensation for wind conditions, while taxiing, which resulted in loss of aircraft control, an encounter with terrain, and subsequent failure of the left main landing gear. The unfavorable wind condition was a related factor.
