You mean like a friend of mine, once rescued a person trapped in
wreck that had stopped on the railroad tracks, as a came and smashed it
to pieces. As doctors, firemen, and police watch too afraid of being
sued? The year was 1956, nowadays you can move a victim if you have
taken the life saving courses.

I know quite a few people who have landed gear-up. I don't consider it life
threatening. The only property damage is to the engine (sudden stoppage when
the prop hits the ground can cause lots of damage) and the undercarriage of
the plane.

Standing up under a plane with a spinning meat cleaver on the front
qualifies as life threatening in my book.

Actually, the military taught that the prop was to be stopped in a
horizonal position to minimize damage and the a/c was to be landed
with no power - at least that's my memory of it. Now, just how to
choose that position with a 3 or 4 blade prop, I have no idea but I
can definitely say that even with a 3-bladed prop as long as it was
stopped before hitting the runway the most common damage was to the
prop alone. Change props, fix a little road rash on the bottom side,
test hop it and you are done.

Ever see the recoveries of the the U2? A pickup truck ran along side
it during landing and the pilot lowered the wing onto the pickup. The
U2 had two sets of wheels on the center line and 2 outriggers that
fell off during takeoff.

The scheme they used was not that uncommon but they left out one
primary equipment requirement: ***** like grapefruit!

I agree with you with the news reporter's odd view of the situation.

The interesting thing about aviation, is that a pilot can pretty much
break any rule in an emergency.
