The more serious damage was on the left side of the aircraft as well....the right hand skid is still attached and visible but the left hand skid is just part of the collapsed fuselage structure.

Very serious impact damage....far beyond anything that could be produced by merely falling through the roof.

Here's a video of a MD 500 being drop tested from 40 Feet.....for the second time.
