Pretty amazing video! It looks like the parachute caused something of a hazard once the craft was in the water. It seemed to drag it along and contribute to it rolling over when the pilot was sitting on the wing – that looked like it could have been very troublesome. Glad it all worked out!
Also, that survival raft looks pretty small! Does each passenger get one too?
Assuming this is a part 91 flight, when flying overwater more than 30 minutes flight time or 100 nm from short, they are legally required to have on board:
* A life preserver for each occupant of the plane
* Enough liferafts for all occupants [however they can share the same one as long as they're not exceeding the rated capacity and buoyancy]
* A flare for each liferaft
* One portable, floating, water-resistant emergency radio beacon
* A lifeline
* Survival kits attached to each liferaft
they don't come with the airplane, but since pilots are trained to be paranoid, I imagine they're a relatively common purchase among guys flying over the ocean.
