Seems to me that once the aircraft touches down, the pilot is just another passenger along for the ride. Besides shutting stuff down and trying to mitigate any fire danger, the flight controls are pretty much useless.
Not so - you never stop flying the thing until it comes to a stop. Maintaining directional control and proper pitch input would be important.
Retractable gear aircraft are "designed" to belly land - it should be quite survivable. The greatest danger would probably be stampeding passengers.
