You seem to be missing my point - perhaps purposefully!? We aren't talking about landing on a bowling green that you gently ease the brakes on.
Actually, that's what everyone in this thread is talking about, i.e. pulling the chute anyway when there is clearly a suitable field available. May I respectfully suggest that with your attitude you never take up gliding? I'd hate to see you bailing out of a perfectly controllable glider every time you cannot make it back to home field, just because you think out-landings are unmanageable and must invariably land in disaster.
