I think he had both mags on. Having suffered a single mag failure in a R22 at about 400 ft in the climb, the MAP dropped considerably IIRC.
Two interesting points....instrument panel shows Canadian Reg, tail pylon is 'N' reg.
EOL technique.....??? Note that early on the IAS drops off the clock...suggests way out of balance? Having had about 70 KIAS at the point of failure, there's apparently no flare, and the RRPM warning horn is on way before touchdown; you see the RRPM dropping through 50% odd well before touchdown. A lucky escape for POB.
Wonderful obscuration of Field of View, and possibly the instrument panel by the top tablet device.
