People, have some perspective, it is a photograph taken in time and does not in anyway allow armchair critics to decide the dangers in any practice out there, all this photo does show is that the pilot landed outside of what the circle is intended for. Was he/she safe? Looks that way doesn't it. Is it SOP for operators to always land outside the markings? No idea, but would assume no. Is training by any company outside the standards authorized? Again, I have no idea but highly doubtful, customer audits would certainly take care of that.
The positive from this topic, its a cool picture, discussion has been generated, albeit a bit negative and defensive, but a discussion nonetheless, and another picture was posted. God one has to love pictures of our work, n'est pas?
