Narrative:
The pilot reported that during the first landing attempt at the destination airport the airplane was too fast, so he performed a go-around. During his second attempt, he descended and touched down on the runway, however, he overshot his intended landing spot. He added that he did not believe a safe go-around could be performed after the touchdown, so he decided to continue the landing roll and applied max braking, however, the airplane overran the end of the runway and struck mower equipment located to the right of the runway. The left wing sustained substantial damage. The pilot reported that there were no mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane.

Probable Cause: The pilot's failure to perform a go-around during an unstable approach to land which resulted in a landing area overshoot and a subsequent runway excursion.
