The gear only triggers a crash when its absolute height above ground level is -1. This happens because gear position doesn't change when retracted (obviously it would be quite hard to calculate its position during the extension phase, because every airplane might have a different way to extend and retract). There is no force computed and applied to the model when the gear is retracted, however the collision check still happens and if you have a long enough gear strut it will go below -1 AGL when flying low or crash landing. It should be pretty easy to replicate this with the IAR80, I haven't tried with other aircraft.
