Anybody else think the ground is too soft?

As a RL pilot, two issues strike me as very significant. One, once wind is implemented then landings will be much more "interesting", and two, on the flare and contact, dump the flaps immediately or "float" and suffer the consequences.

this is frightening to hear (as a RL pilot), imagine having zero flap and getting briefly airborne after a 'bounce'........without the flaps giving the lift at low speed you will hit even harder on the second landing and or you could get a wing drop at the same time....very messy, I see no reason why the pilot could not have used some power fed in slowly to initiate a go around or at least soften the second landing given the engine did sound a little sick.
