Touchdown! Greaser!
Actually, it is uncommon to this type, a flying boat with retract gear.
More people have probably gotten hurt by inadvertently putting the gear down on a water landing with an amphib/flying-boat, just because it is part of their 'flow' and they didn't think about what they where doing.
Granted. I suspect (perhaps not validly) that these military pilots don't have previous flying-boat experience that would translate into an error of gear operation.
