The pilot began the takeoff roll in gusting crosswind conditions that exceeded the airplane's demonstrated crosswind velocity. During the roll the airplane departed the runway, spun around, and came to rest facing opposite the direction of travel. The main landing gear failed during the accident sequence, with signatures that indicated it had sustained an overload. The pilot reported that the accident could have been prevented if he had waited to takeoff in lower wind conditions.
Probable Cause: The pilot's decision to attempt to takeoff in crosswind conditions that exceeded the airplane's demonstrated crosswind capability.
