We at Avelo are landing every day 5248 feet in the -700 and -800, not breaking backs, doesn’t say the age of the FA but if I had to guess that had a factor, and the fact that no one else complained of being hurt seems odd….
Not to mention the PSU doors didn’t deploy it wasn’t that hard of an impact those come out at 2.3 Gs if I’m not mistaken

Was the FAs age mentioned? I know several younger FAs who through previous injuries (some sports related) have weak backs. I've also seen hard landings cause back/neck injuries on both old and young FAs. The most important factor seemed to be where their jump seat was and not their age.

I always shoot for the three-wire at SNA, and BUR. It was fun in an RJ, not so much fun in a NB.
I could grease it every time at either airport, but I'd probably have to go around 20% of the time. That last little bit of floaty-float isn't always predictable.
If the landing was within spec per the MX requirements, ie they let the plane turn and keep flying, then this was just one of those things. As somebody said, maybe predisposition. I had some back stress in the mil, for that reason I make a point of sitting up straight for the landing when riding in the cabin.

If you target the 3, you passed up two perfectly good wires. Just saying.
