This wasn't a big race. There may not have been any untrained volunteers anywhere near this spot. I would have jumped right in and tried to help.

Absolutely. And Mr. 89 911, if you ever go into the water under anything but fun circumstances near me, I'm going in after you. Doesn't matter if it's through a hole in the ice. My mom was a swimming instructor and lifeguard, (with several saves under her belt), and we all learned water rescue at an early age. Maybe you don't feel confident in the water, and that is coloring your response?
At any rate, drowning is no joke. One bong hit of water and you're done as far as fending for yourself. You are going down. It's an awful way to die and I would risk nearly all to save anyone from it.
