So flying low over an extended landing area is dangerous how?
Well, if you're flying low over water that is a reservoir, and the altitude at which you're flying is below the surrounding terrain, your low flying might lead you to inadvertently fly up a dead end arm of the reservoir in which you can't reverse course and you wind up crashing and killing yourself and your passenger.
and if you're maneuvering aggressively at low altitudes over the water you're margins for error is a lot less than if you were doing the identical maneuvering at say 2000 ft, and you could hit the water and kill yourself.
Those are just two possible scenarios which come to mind.
Are you seriously trying to pretend that low altitude flying, generally, is not more hazardous than flying at altitude, all else being equal? That a 45 degree bank within a wingspan of the water is no different that a 45 degree bank at 3000 ft agl?
