I'm not sure Its very constructive to tear a strip off someone who has walked away from an accident! Some valid points have been made about touch down technique though but these should be relayed constructively because aggressive criticism will have a hugely counter productive effect IMHO.

On some check flights I have noted a few pilots not being able to consistently land in the right place at the right speed, and on the centre line, particularly in crosswind conditions. It seems to me those students who have perfected the discipline of landing consistently on the centre line even in crosswinds will be very well equipped in handling this type of emergency.
