That in response to Pace's point about a pilot living with the fact that they may kill someone on the ground?
What a strange idea.

What makes you think you cannot kill someone with a conventional forced landing?

In fact with a conventional forced landing you carry more energy, and are likely to cover more distance. So on the one hand the propensity to cause injury is greater, but, on the other, you might, and I emphasize might, be more selective about your landing site.

I suspect this is just another example of unfounded speculation not supported by any evidence that one landing is any more likely to cause harm to third parties than the other.
