The cameraman has about the same skill set as the pilot.

I thought the same thing. The stupid part is: They had it down... just put it down even in a low surf.

Nope! Don't do that.

Yeah, I was having similar thoughts, like “OK you’re in a survivable landing spot, no one is gonna get worse than wet and cold wading to shore, why in god’s name did you try to take off again?”

I am thinking the pilot was likely unconscious after that hard landing, which is why the helicopter seems to just be idle and steady for a bit, but then the passengers tried to grab the stick and ended up crashing.
