In this case, I think it was getting too fast in the final below 250', causing the pilot to command a series of pitch occillations to reduce speed in an attempt to save the landing (b3), the speed reduced somewhat, followed by an apparent three point touchdown (a1?) with little or no flare (or flared too high?) which resulted in a hard landing and then I think it was either (a4) or aircraft-pilot coupling due to the forces going on there.
But it is not true that high-speed, low flaps = bounciness. Unstable = bounciness. Simple way to avoid ever bouncing like this: go-around if the approach becomes unstable in the final.
What is a wind shear alert?
WIND SHEAR AHEAD - GO AROUND
