BTW wrt to the video all I can say is WAD(Wot-A-Doos

If you are going to fly low level then make sure you do it over a safe landing spot, like along a beach, or along the runway or over some nice fields. Water is not a good landing spot.

Ya, This twat looks like he originates on the shallow end of the gene pool......
I have made mention of this before but I will repeat for the sake of those that missed the post.
Hitting water in a trike is far more dangerous than hitting terrain – Basically you hop along the surface once or twice, then the nose wheel digs in and one starts slowing down VERY rapidly, next thing you know the wing (read nose cone) is in the drink and the bar is playing havoc with your internal organs via your ribcage……..
Theoretically (comments…) If you had no other choice – It may be a good idea to purposefully move the bar over and drop a wing into the water as the front wheel settles but I personally would be reaching for the big red handle before it got to this….
