In that case it's the most stupid design point of any helicopter I have ever seen in my 26 years of flying. I bet that one bottle had enough gas in it to partially inflate both sides sufficient for the helicopter to have floated upright after landing.
If the floats only inflated on one side of the helicopter in flight, I imagine the asymmetric drag wouldn't have been helpful for directional control.
