Certainly most machines with pop out floats are designed to stay upright but with A/C like the 206 or 355 where the floats are mounted on the skids, unless the water is flat calm the slightest wave will cause th A/C to turn upside down because of the naturally high C of G.
However at least it will still float and you will have something to hang on to.
