This is certainly a dumb question, but could a plane like this land on a softer material to try to save the airframe? Like a dry lake bed, marsh, or golf course?

One consideration is accessibility for first responders once the aircraft touches down.
Softer material is easier for the a part of the plane to dig into the ground and then the plane will flip over.
