The collapse of the right main landing gear during landing rollout.

NTSB narrative

After an uneventful flight, the pilot configured the airplane for landing. The cockpit landing gear annunciator light indicated green. During the landing, the airplane bounced once and then settled back onto the runway. The airplane rolled out a few seconds, and the pilot noticed some wobbling, after which, the right wing slowly started to drop down. The pilot thought that he had a flat tire and tried to hold up the right wing with ailerons and started to brake. The airplane veered off the right side of the runway, resulting in substantial damage to the right horizontal stabilizer. After the accident the landing gear was cycled several times. During the test, the landing gear extended and retracted normally. No mechanical anomalies were found with the landing gear system or the cockpit annunciator light.
