According to the pilot, he flared too high, made a hard landing, and then bounced at least once. The airplane then exited the left side of the runway and nosed over after the nose landing gear collapsed and separated. The pilot stated that he briefly added power during the bounce, but decided to abort the attempted go around. The pilot further stated that there were no preimpact mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airframe or engine that would have precluded normal flight.
