Yes, gotchya now. I agree, I see the two things flying forward. Some
part of the floats, and you are probably right. The nose bumpers
sheared off and flew forward. Nice observation. Never had noticed that
before. Those nose bumpers are just black plastic things, glued on (I
think).

Maybe rubber float tips/fenders/bumpers?

They sure leave in a hurry.....popped of by water pressure in the nos
gear wells.. ?

At first I thought it was his nose tip gear breaking off... but later the
video shows them in place as he floats along upside down.
