With most aircrafts you will get a nose-roll-over (due to the high drag of the gear in the water) and the crash is the result of this nose-roll-over. If the parameters are unrealistic you can tune them. You can even describe the fuselage of an aircraft with retractable gear as a float to get emergency-water-landing-capability. And you can add additional "gears" to aircrafts with retractable gears defining the fuselage as a skid on ground. For an example try the dhc2F. You can land it on grass with retracted gear, but you should not try to land on water with extended gear.
Therefore everything you are asking for is already there. The only question is, if the aircraft maintenancer is using all these features.
