Looks suspiciously like a strong onshore breeze from the approach and the nose low (initial) touchdown; if so then I'd have opted for a crosswind rather than downwind landing. Speculation only at this stage, of course.

I suspect the person taking the video may have thought themselves a bit lucky, though. That's as close as I'd ever want to get to a turning and burning rotor

Talk about brown trouser moment.....
