"That's why STOL aircraft generally do steep approaches (up to 7.5 degrees) because the resulting mainwheel touchdown point is more accurate with less dispersion."
This sums it up nicely.
I am of the opinion, showmanship is a contributory factor in a lot of these occurrences. Seen it myself at St Maarten. No road traffic barriers either = bad news.
