Interesting video... although it seems a bit on the silly side.
It seems possible, however, that the landing gear might just snap off. Remember that actual landing isn't done at anything near top speed, so the gear doesn't need to handle the horizontal force during landing that it would be subject to as it dips too far into the water.
It's interesting to keep in mind when you watch this that as a plane nears the ground (or water surface), the air being forced down off the wings creates a buffer that pushes the plane back up into the air. Even at normal landing speeds, this can make the last vertical 10' or so a bit tricky as the plane resists ground contact. At full speed that force would be far greater, so holding steady like this, despite the smooth appearance, would be something of a wrestling match.
