RV3 pilot reported the aircraft brakes locked on landing causing loss of control and aircraft damage...

Narrative:

Upon landing; my brakes locked causing a nose over on the runway. My prop struck the ground and was largely destroyed. My wheel pants suffered damage; but should be repairable. I believe the situation was caused by a malfunction of the parking brake valve as it is the only thing in the braking system that is common to both the left and right brakes.based on my reading of NTSB rule 830 and what limited interpretive guidance I can find; I do not believe this is a reportable incident or accident.I am submitting this ASRS report because I think it would be helpful if the NTSB provided a plain language explanation of when something needs to be reported as an incident and when it is not necessary.I have been a licensed attorney since [year]. I'm currently also employed as a part 121 [pilot]. I share this information because it is my intention to be fully compliant with NTSB rule 830 reporting requirements. I spent a significant amount of time researching the reporting requirements and there is nothing clear about them. There are inconsistencies and vague language within the rule and within the various interpretations of the rule. I believe such issues within the language of the rule could allow an overzealous FAA inspector to interpret the rule contrary to the intent of lawmakers.if I'm having these kinds of problems and concerns as a licensed attorney and an airline pilot; I'm quite certain the average joe; GA pilot would be struggling; too. It's sad when a person can have a compliant attitude and intent; but be still be left with an unclear path to compliance.
