Better safe than sorry with overshot approaches.
Though he still had enough speed to not stall, he bailed because he wasn't sure he'd be able to ride along on ground effect.
If you get stuck in the water without escaping the cockpit, you're pretty much screwed. Water pressure will hold the canopy shut if you tried opening it, and water resistance will prevent it from flying off, so pulling the escape lever will kill you. Not to mention how long it takes to undo all your harnesses.
Sure you'll lose the airframe, but no plane is worth two lives. Plus, if the crew is quick, they can hook the plane to keep it from sinking if it splashes down nearby.

@Nerfenthusiast alright no worry's, although I do have an EA-6b on my account if your interested hint hint
