The RN lost a Sea Fury a few years back near Prestwick because the gear could not be got fully down and the pilot followed the drills and bailed out.
Another flipped over on it's back at Sywell in 2001, killing the pilot. Not an u/c failure per se, but the point is, flipping over on landing may not be survivable.
