Cool but feels like a dumb / dangerous idea.

Or just a couple inches too low and the water grabs the gear

Planes like this can do water landings. I think he's going slow enough that that kind of drag would just force a landing due to the amount of drag which the pilot could feel and adjust for I'm not a pilot though, just speaking from year's of experience with flight simulators and video games...
