Fortunately they did do some things correctly. However, both hikers falling into the water TWICE suggests poor decision-making.

Water crossings in the cold months are one of the most dangerous parts of backcountry travel. Personally, if I can't rock hop fairly shallow water, it's not a route I will be on. Sounds like they did their best, but falling in twice? I might have tried to avoid that.
