Here's a follow-up thought . . .
In a Coupe, is the nose gear bounce back into the air (as a result of hitting the nose gear first) more likely to occur with:
a. the nose gear fully extended and giving a full 1-foot of shock absorption (and, presumably, energy absorption)?
b. the nose gear partially extended (maybe 4-5 inches shorter) and with reduced shock absorption abiliity?
