I don't think that was entirely intentional. For how expensive those things are (millions) combined with what would happen if he ditched (die), it's not worth trying it. Most pilots consider being 100 ft. close to the ground to be "life and death" - much less 20 ft. I'm sure his gear was buzzing and alarming and all sorts of shit when he got that low!
