Narrative:
After landing on private grass runway, I had slowed to about 20 mph. A deer ran out of a grove of trees near the runway, and came right at the airplane. I used maximum braking and the airplane immediately flipped onto its back -- no injuries. Damage to aircraft substantial -- should have hit the deer.
