Based on the bare weight, wing area and landing description it is easy to believe the landing speed was over 40 mph.
Wow, and I though I had long rollouts...
Did he have brakes in it?
Unfortunately I did not observe the landing and don't remember brakes on the retracts. However scratches under nose and numerous breaks in the nose gear former indicate the landing roll continued into the high grass.
The pictures below show a fixed brake solution to long roll outs. The Bob Cat has not been flown but the brake solution is being used on 4 other airplanes.
