During landing, the student pilot experienced an "unexpected wind gust." The airplane was lifted upward, and then impacted the runway "very hard." The airplane then bounced and came to rest on the nose wheel first, causing the landing gear strut to bend and the propeller to impact the runway. The student pilot stated that he was "too relaxed" during the landing, and should have accelerated to avoid impacting the runway hard. He reported 38 hours of total flight experience at the time of the accident.
Probable Cause: The pilot's improper flare and inadequate recovery from a bounced landing.
