Nothing scary I think it was handled well. The main problem with rejected landing is trying to avoid contact(or second contact) with the runway and/or aggressive rotation. Initial rotation should be enough to ensure that the nose gear won't contact before the main gear. Gear is a strong part of the aircraft but the tail or fuselage will be damaged badly. That is why there should be no hurry in changing configuration. Once the aircraft is climbing away then the standard go round procedure can be followed by rotating to GA attitude and GA flaps and then gear. At this stage no one knows what was done.
