The student reported this was his second solo flight. He reported the landing was normal up until it felt like the airplane ballooned. He reported, 'In reality very little if I had continued to bleed off the speed with the yoke I would have been fine.' However, he reported that he decided to perform a go-around during which he failed to use right rudder. The airplane traveled off the side of the runway where it contacted a segmented circle. The pilot stated he could have avoided the accident by not performing a go-around in this case, using right rudder during the go-around, continuing to fly the airplane, and straightening the nose during landing.
Probable Cause: the student pilot's inadequate use of the rudder which resulted in a loss of directional control during an aborted landing. A factor associated with the accident was the student's lack of total experience and the segmented circle which the airplane contacted.
