According to the certificated flight instructor (CFI), he was giving instruction to another pilot who was not rated in special light sport weight-shift airplanes. During touchdown, the airplane bounced and the CFI instructed the pilot undergoing instruction (PUI) to perform a go-around. The PUI pushed the control bar and the airplane stalled. The airplane to roll to the left and the left wingtip contacted the ground, resulting in the airplane tumbling in a cartwheel-type movement. The CFI stated that the PUI was seated in the rear seat and therefore had more leverage than his controls. Postaccident examination by a Federal Aviation Administration inspector revealed damage was sustained to fuselage structure.
Probable Cause: The pilot's improper recovery from a bounced landing and the certificated flight instructor's inadequate remedial action, which resulted in an aerodynamic stall during a go-around.
