Narrative:
The second passenger is a licensed private pilot and had been authorized by the insurance carrier to occupy the left seat with an authorized PIC in the right seat. For this portion of the flight, the second passenger sat in the left seat and I occupied the right seat. The passenger (pilot) in the left seat taxied the aircraft to runway 03 and made a normal takeoff. The flight to superior (suw) was uneventful. He asked that I make the landing. The winds were out of the wnw at 5-8 KTS. I entered the downwind for runway 31 with the normal position reports. The landing was a normal 3 point landing. As the aircraft was rolling out, the aircraft started turning to the left. I applied right rudder and right brake to straighten aircraft with runway centerline. The right brake failed and full right rudder would not stop the aircraft from turning left. The aircraft ground looped left and the right gear broke off from the side load with the propeller and the right wing tip striking the ground. There were no injuries.

Title: AN SMA PLT GND LOOPED. THERE WERE NO INJURIES.
Narrative: THE SECOND PAX IS A LICENSED PVT PLT AND HAD BEEN AUTHORIZED BY THE INSURANCE CARRIER TO OCCUPY THE L SEAT WITH AN AUTHORIZED PIC IN THE R SEAT. FOR THIS PORTION OF THE FLT, THE SECOND PAX SAT IN THE L SEAT AND I OCCUPIED THE R SEAT. THE PAX (PLT) IN THE L SEAT TAXIED THE ACFT TO RWY 03 AND MADE A NORMAL TKOF. THE FLT TO SUPERIOR (SUW) WAS UNEVENTFUL. HE ASKED THAT I MAKE THE LNDG. THE WINDS WERE OUT OF THE WNW AT 5-8 KTS. I ENTERED THE DOWNWIND FOR RWY 31 WITH THE NORMAL POS RPTS. THE LNDG WAS A NORMAL 3 POINT LNDG. AS THE ACFT WAS ROLLING OUT, THE ACFT STARTED TURNING TO THE L. I APPLIED R RUDDER AND R BRAKE TO STRAIGHTEN ACFT WITH RWY CTRLINE. THE R BRAKE FAILED AND FULL R RUDDER WOULD NOT STOP THE ACFT FROM TURNING L. THE ACFT GND LOOPED L AND THE R GEAR BROKE OFF FROM THE SIDE LOAD WITH THE PROP AND THE R WING TIP STRIKING THE GND. THERE WERE NO INJURIES.
