The SR22 simply stopped and contacted the ground on the gravel over/under run a few metres short of the bitumen.
Exactly what happened to MMG from what we have read but he was unfortunate enough to have hit wet grass. It's something to watch out for particularly given that you can't do a traditional flare. I've seen a few Cirrus tails that have hit the ground under similar circumstances.
