There is almost always xwind at Tooradin.
I reckon this is all bull****. A poorly executed xwind landing with a belated attempt to go around far too late is my guess. No way to get that far left to smash through the ramp area at Tooradin without lots going pear shaped well before the event.

In a C182 with some mass and inertia xwind landings would be far easier than a Aeroprakt Foxbat or a Texan, two LSA's that regularly operate at Tooradin with no problems.

I say the PIC simply screwed the pooch, plain and simple.

Glad everyone got out ok.

Sad for the aircraft owners who got their aircraft wrecked.
