Aircraft preflight - inadequateCause
Landing gear,normal brake system - bentCause
On ground/water encounter with terrain/water
Terrain condition - tree(s)Factor

Analysis
During landing roll a loss of braking occurred due to excessively worn brake pads and a bent shaft in the left master cylinder. Near the end of the runway the pilot elected to ground loop the aircraft in order to avoid trees at the departure end of the runway.
