The way the nose comes down so aggressively it looks like Stick Pusher activation drove the nose into the ground. Low airspeed with increased wing loading due to bounce could easily activate Stick Pusher. An override feature is available but one would have to be anticipating Stick Pusher and be waiting with their thumb on the button at this low altitude.
