I have to add that this never seems like a problem to me. My goal in flying, either in real life or in FlightGear, is to keep the dirty side down and avoid hitting anything. The idea of a crushed plane makes me a bit nauseous, and the fact that the plane unrealistically buries itself in the ground doesn't seem like a big problem -- in real life, hitting the ground at that speed, I wouldn't be alive to see anything anyway.
