Analysis
The plt reported that during the landing, the left wing struck tall grass at the side of the strip & the acft swerved to the left. He tried to correct the situation by applying right braking action, but his braking was ineffective on wet grass. Subsequently, the acft ground looped & skidded into a ditch where the gear collapsed.
