It is always worth trying to remember that the occupants of an aircraft, have a 90% chance of survival if you contact the ground UNDER CONTROL. Fly the thing on!!
If the aircraft is flown in under control, the wings, elevators etc will absorb a lot of energy. It's the lack of control and vertical speed that mostly kills.
The glide stretch mindset must not be a reflex action, ever. If indeed this was the course of events in this accident, we don't know yet.
What we do know from photographic evidence the aircraft was not under control.
