I fly with my shoulders parallel to the runway but I guess I don't understand what you mean about landing over your shoulder - I am tryng to visualize it. Our field is surrounded on thrre sides by 4 to 6 feet of soy beans and I have trouble on approach figuring if I am high enough to clear the beans when I am descending during the landing approach. I just can't tell when I am clear - I usually have one of the more experienced pilots coach me in until I can get it right. I also have trouble gaging trees over one end of the field as well. Yes, I have landed in the bean fields several times and I have hit the trees twice.
