Generally speaking, landing on grass when you have a suspect or failed undercarriage leg is considered a very bad move.

There is a very real danger of bits of the aircraft digging into the grass and flipping the aircraft over - generally a bad thing.

Whilst a tarmac runway may seem uninviting, aircraft survive remarkably well after sliding along generating a few sparks
