Hmmmmm, are you a student Pilot by any chance?
Ask your instructor to tell you about our little friend "Pilot Induced Oscillation", especially before you fly any Cessna.
Land just a little fast, in terms of absolute velocity over ground, in some aircraft and you will bounce, exactly as the Piper did. Then try and ease the control column forward during the bounce - you will be half a second behind the aircraft. Then realise that you are going to hit hard - so pull back on the column just before you hit - again half a second behind the aircraft and you will bounce again. Keep repeating this until the firewall or the nosewheel gives up.
The alternative is to either go around or maintain the aircraft in it's flared attitude during the bounce, perhaps adding a little power if required to cushion the next descent.
It cost me $1500 to learn this, and I am giving it to you for free.
