So let me see if I have this right:

If possible, stop in the air & touch down with little or no forward movement. If you don't have enough room, brake aerodynamically as much as you can, then touch down at or below 34 kts, & brake as hard as necessary. If you don't have enough room for this, touch down as soon as you can & brake as hard as possible, resulting in possible damage to the aircraft, but probably less damage than hitting obstacles with the blades.

Is that pretty much the logic you'd use?
