First and foremost, congrats to the pilot for getting them on the ground and walking away.
I am a newbie, bigtime, but that seemed like an extremely weak flare. Seems to me that a more agressive flare would have slowed the rate of descent much more and maybe the pilot was pulling a little too much collective too soon and lost the blades enertia. Seemed like a really hard impact to me.
