Don't have a good answer, but I believe the reason the extended gear handle jumped out of your hand is that you did not pull the circuit breaker on the gear pump. My POH says to extend the gear manually 1) pull the gear motor CB; 2) put the switch in the "down" position and 3) then pump gear down - takes a lot of pumps.
I'm glad to know the gear handle jumps back to the down position when you try to pump it without pulling the CB. I've always wondered if I forgot to pull the CB would the handle jump up and break my arm!
I've had a similar problem in that the gear would not retract and the cure was to pull the CB, put the handle in the "down" position then crank the gear down - only a few pulls since it's already down, then push in the CB and voila! the gear would retract when I put the switch in the "up" position and pushed in the CB. Cured itself after a little while.
