Joe -
This is not much in the way of real evidence for connecting slower final approach speeds to gear collapses. An equally valid hypothesis is that the trouble is in Lancair's design of the landing gear itself!! Both need a lot more research before they can be stated as conclusions.
Cheers,
John

Is there a data set or research that leads to this conclusion?
Thanks,
