Cessna down in FACT

Well, with regards to KSS, i just got to the club when it started up, started it's taxi (on the grass), when the nose gear collapsed. Props bent, but no other damage, except to Stellies lawn and the pilot's ego!!!
Apparently... according to him, he didn't touch the gear lever. But when they pushed the tail down, the nose gear locked!
They stuck a new prop up front and flew it back to CT.
