Analysis
Shortly after takeoff, the eng lost power & decelerated to idle RPM. The plt attempted to restore power while making a 180 deg turn back to the arpt. During the landing, the acft struck the ground, nose 1st, collapsing the gear. The acft came to rest after traveling about 80 ft after impact. An exam revealed no problems with the eng or fuel sys. The acft was equipped with only lap belts for restraint. The plt believed if it had been equipped with a full restraint sys, there would have been no injuries.
