How can someone suck this bad at flying?

I personally have done similar to this (on a much smaller scale) back when I was a student.
It really is easier than you might think. You come in a little too fast and/or have a crappy flare, and this kind of thing can happen real quick.
He should've went around when the approach started looking bad, but he didn't. We don't know his experience level and the wind conditions, so it's hard for us to judge. I'm sure he learned his lesson, though.

Not to mention the angle the 182 sits at on the ground. The nose gear really sits low if you don't flare.

I could easily do that.

If you watch the elevator it looks like he keeps going between up elevator and down elevator. I did that once when I was a student years ago and will never do it again. If that happens best course of action is either go around or if you have enough runway just hold the yoke back and let it settle in.

Shhot, I land like that all the time, and I am supposed to teach people
But seriously, what's a PPL have to do with anything?
I don't think he means that private pilots are the only ones landing like that, but rather during the training up to the PPL or during the years of subsequent flying we're all bound to have a couple nasty ones to share.

It was just a comment that anyone who has a PPL has made a landing like that (a bad landing) at one point in their training.....If they are telling you something different, they are lying.

Oh. Put a mark next to my name for comprehension fail.

That would happen to anyone if you asked someone to film your landings. Which reminds me...
The first time I did a Young Eagles event, they had like 200 kids show up, so it felt like we were flying kids out of Hanoi - one after the other, 27 total for me personally - and hot as balls, especially for October. By the time I got to landings 8, 9 and 10 that day I was knocking kids' fillings out. That was also the day I had my first ever go around on a landing.

It looks as though the pilot came in too fast and tried to save the landing without letting the airspeed to bleed off in a proper flare.
Rushed to put the airplane on the ground, which would be likely in a short field situation, but it doesn't look like a short runway to me.
