As a long time h2 who has perfected poor flare technique and the 2step belly flop here's my 2 cents.Big wheels have saved damage to both my glider and me,the problem is my flares,when I remember to LOOK UP PUSH UP my flare and landing is always on my feet,even if bad timing has me taking a few steps.In the video the push out is just that,a push out and not a push up,with me that always results in a belly landing.After a long winter layoff errors in judgement or technique are not uncommon.Sorry to see that you didn't escape injury Sparky.Get well soon.
