Several ways this approach could have ended:
-Go around
-Landing and then landing abort due to long landing and not enough stopping distance
-Landing long and ending up as a burning wreck somewhere past the overrun
-Landing hard on the nose wheel in an attempt to force it down in the touchdown zone
-Landing on the grass
or as in this case:
-landing long, and stopping without reversers and without any drama on the remaining runway.
Sorry, I don't see the issue here? Just because its not done this way in the civilian world does not make it unsafe.
