All right, I'll chime in on this one. I think there is a big difference between having to rescue somebody that fell through the ice while skimming and helping somebody in warm waters in August. The rescue personnel would be well equipped with pfd's and a seaworthy boat and others to assist. Dealing with frozen waters through broken ice would rise to putting others at risk way more before this incident. fwiw
