I'm pretty sure its because falling hundreds of feet into water is more survivable than hundreds of feet into earth or concrete.
There are flights, however, over land, but they usually involve a lot of practice and permitting.

No, not really - hitting watter as damaging as hitting concrete once you get above 100 feet high. But at least you're not going to kill an unlucky pederastian by falling on them.
