Probably flown more times than most here and anyone that knows how to swim can get out if a helicopter after it lands in the water if they are still conscious. But whatever. I'm sure 90% of you are pilots.
This is irrelevant information.
A couple of the pilots I regularly have, have actually been through some serious situations including landing in the water. The worst chances for survival are during landing and take off. The best chances are with higher altitude.

That guy is either an idiot or a contrarian, and possibly both.
I know one pilot and one passenger who survivied hard landings after autorotating down. The pilot was in BlackHawk in Iraq and landed on packed soil/desert outside of Balad. He was fine, but a UH-60 has energy absorbing pilot seats that that collapse on impact.
The passenger friend went down on a PHI helicopter in the marsh. He hurt his back, but said the gnats were the worst part while waiting for help to arrive.
