Luck obviously played a part in preventing something far more serious happening but the biggest part was obviously his flying skills

He didn't pancake it, that's a good thing. Yikes.

True Jim. Luck only favors the prepared. He was obviously prepared and well skilled pilot to recognize his dilemma in a split second saving the other half of that second to correct the problem.

Technically speaking, I think he did smack in to the water. Hard enough to lose a fearing. It is amazing that he was able to keep the prop out of the water. That would be hard to recover from.

I think this pilot just earned the "lowest altitude record" for such a race.

Luck had little to do with it. Skill and Training. Just like that Harrier Pilot in other vid.
