To clarify things. I was flying the drone, the drone belongs to my friend who was driving the snowmobile. I did object to him driving on the ice that day. He at least had 2 screwdrivers and was wearing a life jacket. This was not staged, but it wasn't completely unexpected either.
When I saw him go through I had to call 911, I edited that part of the video, I was also getting the rope ready, which is why you can see I had trouble finding him again for a second, I had just left the drone hovering when I was doing all that. It was my friends instructions that if he went in to get the drone back. I wish I would've set it down on the ice so you could have seen the part where I came flying up on the grass in my car, tied a garden hose, extension cord, and rope together and threw it out close to him.
He was finally able to get on solid ice and pull himself out, by that time the fire dept, police and ems were already there, we pulled him back across the ice and got him on shore.
