DURING THE LANDING ROLL ON THE GRASS ADJACENT TO RWY 14 WITH A WIND FROM THE EAST AT 5 KTS, THE PLT LOST CONTROL OF THE ACFT AFTER HE REACHED DOWN & PULLED THE PARKING BRAKE HANDLE TO APPLY THE BRAKES. THE ACFT YAWED TO THE RIGHT WHICH COLLAPSED THE RT MAIN & NOSE LANDING GEARS & CAME TO REST. AS A RESULT OF THE COLLAPSE OF THE RT GEAR, THE BRAKE LINE BROKE. IT WAS REPLACED & NO FURTHER BRAKE SYSTEM COMPONENTS WERE REPLACED. THE ACFT WAS REPAIRED & FLOWN FROM THE ACCIDENT SITE TO THE NEW OWNER'S FACILITY. THE OWNER STATED THAT THE BRAKES OPERATED NORMALLY WHEN USING THE PARKING BRAKE HANDLE.
