It would certainly have grounded the aircraft until it could be inspected/repaired back on land and it would probably have destroyed the radar housed in the aircraft's nose.

You can see the airframe flex a bit as he hits the stool so you'd likely break the frame if it hit too hard.

The point where it's flexing is where the front gear would normally be.
