Summary:

Whilst a student pilot was landing on the runway during a practice forced landing exercise, a high rate of descent developed during the flare, so the commander/instructor took control and landed the aircraft from the subsequent bounce. During the landing the aircraft sustained significant damage, 6.5g having been recorded by the on-board meter.
