" ....A normal landing was conducted with that configuration and no
abnormalities were experienced until touchdown. During the landing roll, an
inadvertent pitch up was experienced which lead to a tail strike
....."

6G tail strike in an inadvertent pitch up during the landing roll ??
6G is kinda of extremely hard. 2G is bad enough. 6G is gonna hurt the passengers at the back of the aircraft real bad! Bad enough to be hospitalized.
The "pitch up" have to be a "extremely violent flip up" to achieve 6G. Not likely. I have my doubts .... my opinion is 6G is a bit exaggerated.
But, I wasn't there .... so I wouldn't what happened. Just my opinion....
