It isn't hard to find something through the ice... or even to float it.
The hard part is the actual retrieval.

The ice around the hole is many times unstable, and the breakthrough makes it so much more unstable.

It looks like the locals, with the kayak and canoe, were the one's that saved him. Kudos to the DOT for making sure the ambulance was there.

So he is still getting an ambulance bill.
Sort of a costly day out.

Anyone pulling such a knuckle headed trick should be overwhelmed with gratitude for having been rescued and being alive….and should probably not complain about receiving ambulance bills or any other bills pertaining to that incident!
After thanking his rescuers, he should probably buy a fat lottery ticket! He is one lucky dude.
