Narrative:
During roll out after landing; nose gear failed. Nose abruptly dropped causing aircraft to pitch over and stand on the spinner. Propeller struck the ground. Left wing leading edge and wingtip damaged. Van's aircraft just came out with a different design for the nose gear; there are also some after-market modifications that could be a better design.
