Serious prangs

Well the two engine brigade are not immune at all. Most of their encounters leading to accidents have been non-fatals.

There can be a loss of lift on some aircraft during gear retraction as there is a positive pressure in front of the gear legs.

Watch out for your autopilot modes when going through the encounter. It is not unknown for Control Wheel Steering to drop out and the crew not know.
