NTSB narrative

The airplane was going too fast for landing and it bounced and began to porpoise. The airplane veered off the west side of the runway and the left outboard wing and bottom forward fuselage sustained substantial damage. The pilot said he had never flown or had been checked out in the Cessna 162. He also said he had not flown for some time and was trying to regain currency.
