Those valet parking attendants sure like messing around with the torque turns, approaches aren't their usual fare I guess. Should get away with just handing the keys back.
Obviously he looks to be down wind, but the way the machine was still power limited after it bounced I wonder if the seat belt tail got caught in the collective track. Has caused a few whoopsies in past. Have had it myself, luckily no damage but gets the heart going.

No, when most U.S. pilots strap in there is no tail left to worry about.
