Hot damn that was an amazing episode!
The extent and nature of the time travel side effects are not just keyed into the person but also Geography.
1.) Faraday charted a safe course through the time turbulence (I just made that up) so the crew wasn't affected.
2.) The thunderstorm blew the returning helicopter slightly off that path, triggering radioactive Des's jumps.
3.) The Comm officer (works with radio waves) recklessly approached the island in a small boat without taking heed and both he and his crewmate paid for it with their lives.
So the extent of both a previous exposure to high energies AND your brush with the island's time turbulence will determine how severely and wildly you will be effected.
