S92 Floatation System in Sponson?

I was just wondering, doesnt the S92 have an emergency floatation system inside the sponsons? Why wouldnt the pilots in this helicopter that crashed in canada not have made a slow decent and landed using these? I have no idea if this is a stupid question (must be a valid reason), but this has been bugging me since I heard about these poor folks crashing in the water. What a horrendous way to go.

Thanks.
