The speculation is that a wind gust caused a wing to hit the ground and rip off, causing the other wing to flip it over

Looks like that to me. Looking at the video at 00:04 he was rolling right before touchdown. If the wing had stayed attached he would have ground looped.

I didn't see a flare either but I don't think the landing would have been hard enough to break the right gear strut.
