NARVAL;
it is not the first bounce, on a "hard" landing, that causes the excessive acceleration and damages the plane, but the next more or less controlled landing (or crash landing)...I was always taught, if after a miscalculated flare, the plane really bounced back into the air , to GO AROUND, forgetting any pride.
That is precisely correct both tactically (SOPs), and as seen/experienced.
