The pilot reported he was landing his airplane at a remote gravel bar. He said he touched down further down the gravel bar then he intended, and then realized there was a depression just ahead. He attempted to take off, but his hand was knocked off the throttle by the rough terrain. The airplane entered the depression, the main landing gear dug in, and the airplane nosed over.
Probable Cause: The pilot's selection of an unsuitable landing site. A factor associated with the accident was the rough and uneven terrain.
