So this pilot tired to fly it out after it was in the water causing it to lean forward hitting the blades on the water and causing it to flip over.

Seems like he should have cut power and bailed IMO.

seen the one where the clown tries to tow a speedboat by hooking a line onto the heli's skid? Needlesss to say, the heli flips and it all went wrong.

This looks like an antisubmarine helicopter.
I have no idea why it went into water - but I assume water entered inside the body, and when trying to get out, it stood in the front of the chopper. This imbalance was too great for the controlling avionics (helicopterics) to balance, and when the main propeller hit the water, it was game over.

Incorrect. This is a hind and is clearly different from the heli in the video.

The model in the video appears to be a Mil Mi-14 which is an amphibious helicopter, ie is designed to land in water, much like the westland sea king (you can tell by the boat shaped fuselage, and even a float below the tail rotor). The pilot didn't screw up landing in the water, therefore, but the heli did become overwhelmed because the water was so rough. The mistake was to land when the water was so rough, plus he did kind of drop it the last few feet.

Looks like a fun new ride at Disney.
