Yep, they had a rough ride & were lucky to survive.

That's a pretty campy, false comment you got there, WH57.

See how the conditions really were?

That unusualy-designed black and yellow bag sat at roughly that location for multiple minutes without moving more than a few inches. 
People floated around in various orientations that belie they were not facing any strong wind or water current that would (as claimed by FP) have whisked them from the plane area "within a minute" if they didn't hang onto the airplane. Those were just part of the lies that were uniformly on passengers' and others' (to include WH57) lips.

Flip Hollstein described how the was water was at his deplaning, by saying it was, "like going into a swimming pool. A USCG rescuer would an hour later describe the conditions saying the water, "wasn't rough."

The following frame from the video, spanning a couple hundred yards of distance, horizontal to the water, (look really closely now):

generally shows a very placid scene, notwithstanding the videographer's obvious efforts elsewhere and throughout to make his scenes appear to be rough and tumbling. (He's a very experienced videographer, having videoed his snorkeling dives a lot. He certainly spent lots of good money on his equipment.)   By that experience, he would very well know how the camera must be treated to get good video. His camera-wielding behavior shows he was trying to make it appear as if the "conditions were..." as the pilot was later recorded to have said, "It was horrible." (Cough, choke.)

The pilot said it was so bad, "Once out of the plane ... he could not locate any of the cushions he had removed.

These people were telling falsehoods left and right.

Contradicting the USCG, Rosa Key said afterward, "The water was rough. … The pilot was trying to get everybody together, but that’s kind of impossible because of the waves."

Yet, the reality was that several times over the course of almost an hour, the passengers somehow were able to get together, not merely loosely together, but even into a single frame of the videographers' lenses field of view (approximately 60 degrees), just as in posts #394, #253, and #247. This, ladies and germs is what is called a videographer's scripted choreography.
