The first landing went well, but on the second landing attempt the aircraft hit hard on the left landing gear and bounced and the PIC did not maintain directional control during the bounce and the aircraft started a left hand turn and continued veering to the left and as the aircraft left the runway the PIC applied brakes and the aircraft flipped over inverted in the grassy area between the rwy and the taxiway.
