If you are almost ready to land, nicely set up with the proper descent
rate, and hear a gear up warning, what do you do?

How did you get that nicely setup proper descent rate without using the
spoilers well before you are almost ready to land?

You proceed to lower
the gear, your left hand is currently on the open spoilers, your right
on the stick... usually..... so (also usually) your gear lever is on
the right side, you need your right hand, so you switch hands, left
hand on stick, right hand on gear, then just slightly before your gear
comes down, you flop onto the ground hard enough to break your tail
since your spoilers are now full out late on final .... left hand moved
over to the stick, remember? By doing nothing you flare and land on the
belly.... likely less expensive to repair. Just a theory. Until you do
it yourself. Ouch.

I think the gear warning would not be problem with a halfway decent
approach, but could be a problem in a badly done, low approach, so that
the spoilers are not used till close to the ground. Also, what you say
might apply to a warning given over the radio, which could easily come
late when you are almost ready to land.
