Narrative:
The near miss occurred as I was rolling out after landing. A student pilot landing an small aircraft east behind me failed to execute a proper go around and cleared the top of the aircraft that I was plting and touched down on the runway approximately 150' further down the runway. Witnesses say that the small aircraft east passed over my aircraft with about 20' vertical clearance in a 30-40 degree bank. There were approximately 8 aircraft in the traffic pattern at the time of the incident. At the time, I had been #4 on final approach with the small aircraft east directly behind me. In this sort of situation, which occurs frequently at this airport, even experienced pilots make mistakes or lose tempers. The student pilot was apparently rattled by the traffic. He almost touched down directly behind me and added power at the last minute, just enough to clear my aircraft. Another flight instrument who witnessed the accident made 3 radio xmissions to the small aircraft east by its call numbers, telling the pilot to go around. Then, when he thought that the small aircraft east was going to land and cause an accident, he called to me by name, telling me to turn off of the runway immediately. At that time, I expedited my turn off of the runway as the small aircraft east passed overhead. It is my opinion that inadequate training and a trying and tense situation caused the student to act imprudently.

Title: CLOSE PROX GA-SMA ACFT ON THE GND AND GA-SMA LNDG IN SEQUENCE BEHIND THE REPORTER.
Narrative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
