From Caribarena.com news portal;

"We weren't slowing down," said passenger Shaun Andres a United States national. "...As the end of the runway approached it started to get a little hairy on board."

Hmmm, 3 runway excursions in less than 2 years (w/Official reports...) an airplane is normally supposed to land and stop on the runway so when the brakes fail to slow the aircraft down, and the pilot use the up-sloping terrain and grass as an emergency brake the authorities will frown upon your operation .
