I haven't read the report, but is it possible that the captain, having determined that they had taken gear damage from the strike, used an old jedi trick that we used to call airmanship, and put the dunlops back down before they uplocked?
and interupt the gear up sequence? Not something I would be comfortable with. I'm no mechanic or specialist in the working of undercarriage but I wouldnt of thought that changing gear up sequence to a gear down one would do the dangly bits much good.
