Thats hurts my back just watching that. Is there any retro rockets? It looks like a flash right before it hits the ground and stirs up more dust that just a plain impact with the ground?

Landing in the water probably isnt any softer.

Yes, there are rockets that fire about .2 seconds before landing, plus the seats automatically activate cushioning springs just before touchdoiwn. You still get a jolt, but it’s nowhere near as bad as it looks.
