I was surprised to see the rear slides out. I wouldn't want to go down one that was that steep.
And they all walked away
Minor injuries (or worse) are not uncommon during a slide evacuation.

Be interesting to find out why the gear didn't come down.
Last time this happened on an e-jet it was due to the crew using the override to select gear up before the oleo had fully extended after lift-off. That resulted in a change in the QRH highlighting not to use it unless you are obstacle limited after an engine failure and the gear lever doesn't move.
The nose gear will only fit if its in the proper position and will jam otherwise.
