Landing with the mains extended would be a good solution IF the landing was to be on a hard (concrete/asphalt) surface. He landed on grass. If you land on a soft surface with the mains out, there is a good chance that the nose will dig into the turf and flip the aircraft onto its back.

Why would it have been a bad idea to land with the main gear out and hold the nose off for as long as possible?
