Ah, literally the worst thing you can ever do, the in-between. Either go or stop, never do the indecisive middle route. If in doubt, default to stopping, though in this case of course the default is to go-around.
Although... it's probably going to end up the case, as is usual, that were they truly committed to landing and started braking hard right away, they would have ended up fine enough. Indecisiveness kills.
