Narrative:
The student pilot stated that she was on a solo flight and had completed 2 landings. During the third landing the airplane bounced, and as she tried to apply back pressure she said it bounced again, harder a second time, and also a third time as well. On the third bounce she said the nosewheel collapsed, and the airplane veered to the left into the sand, and flipped over onto its back, and came to a halt.

Probable Cause: The student pilot's improper flare and inadequate recovery from a bounced landing, which resulted in the nosegear collapsing, the airplane veering off the runway, and nosing over.
