It would be strange to have multiple failures that led to no control over decent.
It supposedly had:
The "roll off" ballast
An inflatable bladder ballast with a 10000psi air tank.
A hydraulic release ballast
The ability to jettison the landing skid
The thrusters
Hard to come up with a scenario as to how all of those could fail to overcome a negative ballast problem, but with what we know of the engineering who knows if the "systems" even worked.

I wasn’t focused on the ballast issues so much as I thought that they hit bottom with enough force to affect the integrity of the hull and cause the implosion.
