The airplane landed hard, bounced in the air and impacted the runway. The pilot and passenger suffered minor injuries.

One source says destroyed, another says minor damage:

Cub Crafters made a good effort towards making the NX Cub idiot proof, but apparently some pilots take that as a challenge.

ASN links a photo showing the accident aircraft on amphib floats. I don't know the configuration of the aircraft at the time of the accident but NX makes no difference if floats are fitted.

I have only flown straight floats so no knowledge of how challenging an NX would be on amphibs.

The link below is the news channel which shows this photo. Looks like "minor" damage

Also appears tailwheel config, not nosewheel as expected. This is why we pay what we do...

Ok, so not on floats, thanks.

I'd like to see a video of how that landing got stuffed up so badly. Quite a bit of energy needed to do that much damage on a nice grass strip.
