I would like to piggy back on what Canasdad had to say. Control is utmost important while you decide how the airplane will dissipate its energy. I have been trained in the Air Force Life Support school and would like to also point out that hitting the ground with a vertical component (i.e. through the floor board) is another recipe for disaster for two reasons: 1) There is less structure to absorb the impact and 2) the human spine doesn't do well in this area. You will be much better off if you take the impact head on and let the shoulder harness (You do have them installed, right?) do their job.
