Yeah, only required if the flight is for hire.

Odds are no, so that is the only problem I can see. Im pretty sure it says somewhere if you are flying over water you need to either have life preservers for everyone on board or be able to glide to shore. Anyone know what Im talking about?
The section of part 91 which requires life-jackets applies only to large turbine-powered aircraft. This doesn't apply to a small ASEL. The flight in question was not for hire so part 135 or 121 also do not apply.

While a more experienced pilot may well have rented life jackets and elected to stay within power-off glide of land, it was not required in this case.
