What altitude it started at is irrelevant and just distracts from the point being made.
They were lucky, having hit wires and ending up pointing the wrong way, it could have ended badly which is particularly pertinant to other questionable low level operations previously discussed.
I understand Robinson aficionados always want to find a silver lining when their craft are involved, but Crab's point seems obvious.

Altitude = options.
While that is not only applicable to fairground joyrides, it is definitely relevant.
