MLG pushed up or down

I guess in case of a retracted gear, it would depend on the A/Cs attitude during impact if upward or downward forces on the gear prevailed: the inertia forcing the gear down or the water pushing the main door an the gear up. The main door of the MLG would be one of the first parts of the A/C to hit the water.
