Well, I'm not extremely educated in the means of how no gravity would effect this, but logically speaking, it would typically bounce or not smoothly land. Imagine a treadmill going on full speed. Imagine jumping on it. You will most likely fall and slide off. The higher you come from, you will also fall harder. Although the no gravity environment would change the Philae landing, I'm imagining that it would have some factor.
