Silly Question of the day....

Theorhetical scenario.....

Why can't a swept wing jet be belly landed if the engine stops?
Seemed to happen loads in the days of straight winged piston engined days
Have been advised that a swept wing is not the best thing to try and "crash land" in.

This is a serious question.
Lets say the area had tons of flat fields or sand and no population.
