Or a brake line disconnected...Again usually brake system normally stops wheel rotation after take off, but with a brake brake disconnected gear must be left down until wheel stops spinning before raising the gear. I fly 757-200 which requires 2 minutes gear down after take off for this - plus a significant max weight reduction (in region of 14 tonnes) for the lack of 1 brake.
