Looking at the Video over and over ... I do not think that violent left turn was
due to hitting a floating log.
It looks to me like like hitting the water a little to fast and going for a left high speed turn ( the Video clearly shows what looks like full left rudder )
If that is the pilots reaction to avoid a forced left turn ( initiated by hitting something) it is a total srew up by the pilot.
