It is indeed possible for a ham-fisted 'pilot' to land the likes of the benign PA28 nosewheel first. Usually it just overloads the nose gear strut and if that's done enough some innocent future pilot gets a nose wheel collapse on landing.

But if it's done with significant yaw on, it can result in the mother and father of ground loops, wiping off the main gear.
