Analysis
During landing the plt used forward slip, & after touchdown the acft went off the right side of the rwy striking a taxiway. The jar of hitting the taxiway resulted in the plt unintentionally advancing the throttle & the acft became airborne. The plt retarded the throttle & the acft settled & struck another taxiway resulting in the acft becoming airborne a second time. The acft again settled, the right wing struck an outhouse & the acft veered into ditch & flippedover.
