Analysis
The plt reported that he had completed a landing & had come to a near stop, then he applied power & was on the brakes for control. He stated that the left brake locked & the acft went off the rwy into hi weeds & rough terrain. There was no damage due to veering off the rwy. However, when the plt applied power & attempted to get back on the rwy, the acft pitched sideways & was damaged. No preimpact part failure of malfunction was substantiated.
