Fortunately, I've never seen a landing where the wingtips even came close to touching the ground -- the excursions are usually pitch or yaw rather than roll. The danger to wingtips is hangar rash (i.e. fender benders) from other aircraft taxiing around the parking area. In real life, it's also much harder to do a tail strike than it is with the JSBSim 172 -- it's quite safe to pull all the way back on the yoke to keep the weight off the nosewheel.
