Analysis
While the student pilot was practicing touch-and-go landings, the airplane ran off the side of the runway, hit a ditch and flipped forward to the inverted position. The pilot stated he thought one of the brakes had locked. There was no signs of excessive braking on the runway and the wheels did turn freely after the accident.
