I did think U/C down into tall crop was best - until I saw two guys lifted by air ambulance from a crash in a Piper Arrow, they put the gear down when landing into crop after an engine faliure, the aircraft travelled no more than two hundred meters. The aircraft was intact - except for the damage to the nose leg, which collapsed, the AAIB blamed the leg collapse on the standing crop. They both suffered serious facial and head injuries from their heads hitting the instrument panel following the rapid deceleration. It changed my mind as to what was best
