After touchdown at Ryanair they use full thrust reverse to save the brakes by becoming to hot. this is done because after 25 minutes the plane has to leave again and in case you have to abort an take off you dont want your brakes to be to hot because you need them up to there maximum! The firm touchdowns are more common on the 737-800 then on other aircraft and are nothing to worry about these planes can easily take this! I hope to see you on one of Ryanair flights in the future
