We are thought to belly-land on solid surface when we take the ground school, because grass, as Ryan put it up, can hide lots of bumps and lumps. Asphalt will only grind metal, instead of ripping a panel off like a bump in the grass would do. But, to put it frankly, I'm not eager to find out about it myself!
