Talking of jumping to conclusions, I've not seen anywhere on this thread a post from someone who witnessed the accident. Pennine Boy said it SOUNDED like VRS after a quick stop. All we know was it was a heavy landing. For all we know it could have been an engine failure or wake turbulence or anything. Lets wait for the AAIB to publish their words of wisdom.
As for Overpitched's attitude to quick stops.... Why not do them? they are fun and very satisfying when you pull of a good one. Never felt like I was close to getting vrs doing one, but was warned that it is possible in low wind conditions.
