Hasn't happened yet (Mr Piper built some pretty stout landing gear) --
but it's always something to consider.

That's an interesting comment.
I have seen pictures of Piper landing gear struts protruding through the
tops of the wing after botched landings.

Damn, you'd have to drop it in from 40 feet in the air to do that!

I was a passenger in a Cherokee 180 that was dropped in from 30 feet,
with no apparent damage. Scared the crap outta me, though!
