I was coming from the assumption that this was during take off and there was a malfunction, and I would assume crash landing a plane with a full fuel tanks is suicide.
A lot of other people seem to be of the opinion that this a landing at the end of a flight.
I've perhaps made too many wild, misinformed assumptions in this case.

Pilots, was it brave, stupid, or good practice not to have ejected here?

Not a pilot, but that looks like a controlled landing to me.

I'm no pilot, but I think it's a combo of stupidity and confidence.

Gotta also think where he was and how much fuel he had. Say he had limited fuel left and couldn't get to a safe area to let his plane crash.
There's probably a procedure involved in how to handle a stuck landing gear situation.
