The video shows a controlled crash away from the ship into the sea tail first and on its side, which may have been the best outcome possible in the circumstances.
Surely the whole reason for ditching here is due to the fact that the rotors were damaged to the point that the aircraft was becoming rapidly uncontrollable?
The reason "Q does not seem to have had this option" is due to not being able to control it to do so. If he was able to put it in the water at any angle or speed of his choice, I'm sure he would've popped the floats and sat nicely on the flat calm water.
All adds up to an UNcontrolled crash I would say.
