How not to land.
FTDK,
You sound worse than Dick Smith. Just keep your flippin' eyeballs outside, not inside playing with your toys! 
terrorise the airways with inflight Ppruining and triple-GPS trans-continental cross-countries in the flight levels.

speaking of GPS's, i pulled out my newish GPS phone on my flight to sydney on friday night (actually WITH an airline), my phone in flight mode of course.
Since its garmin software, it shows max speed the gps has tracked, so now i tell my mates i've driven my car at 784km/h - and prove it

This is one technique I use, I apply full forward pressure on the stick before you touch down the first time this will help stop you from bounceing up like this. Once it starts to bounce you just have to ride it out, pulling back would not work. Carb heat could be turned on to reduce the engine power a bit to help stop the bounceing but that is about it.

Must try it on the Auster
I noticed that one too, thought at first it was veiled sarcasm, but knowing the quality of most of the comments on Youtube I suspect sheer stupidity is probably the more likely answer.

He pulled the wrong handle so he didn't eject but somehow survived it all. It was due to the flight control system that was very sensitive, he induced an oscillation and did not go around
