Later as I recall there was a discussion of an unexperience pilot landing a Lancair after the left seat piot became incapacitated. The consensus was land gear up and avoid an uncontrolled bounce. The lack of brakes on the right side almost forces this decision so the temtation to try a first wheels landing under emergency conditions is avoided. The belly, prop, and flap trailing edges can be fixed a lot easier than cart wheel damage.
