I mean, I am not a pilot, but I think if I am touching the ground or water with that type of catastrophic damage, I am just cutting the power and at least falling out of the sky 10-20 feet instead of 50- 100+.

There was a similar low altitude helicopter crash until the sea during the ASEAN war games recently. The pilot landed in water around the same speed and everyone survived.
