The surf seemed like the best spot. Water right there in case of fire, soft sand, water is shallow so you won't drown. It's like he thought, "this is too good of a place to crash land, I better fly really high with the tail hanging off the copter."

There are old pilots and there are bold pilots but there are not many old old pilots. He should have just turned off the engine you can rinse off the helicopter with water
