Those 4 boats that passed them up are under legal obligation to help. A boater is compelled by law to help another who has been involved in some sort of injury-causing crash.
I'd like to think that the people in those boats were all just focused intently on the water straight ahead and didn't even notice the guys were in the water. This could be plausible for the trailing three boats as they all had boats not far in front of them.

The first boat to pass couldn't have been that far behind the boat that spun out.
If they were going 60mph as the article says, you can use the time to figure out exactly how far back they were.
Their boat is sideways in the water at 40secs surrounded by wakes you'd pay attention to if you were approaching on the pad. First boat passes at 1:25, so they were roughly 3/4mi behind, and if it was a straight shot (likely) they should have, or did, see them.
