Just because PA does it that way doesn't mean it's the proper way(though they do have a great curriculum). Our department uses Dive Rescue International's Ice Rescue Techician curriculum and we train the same way: someone in an ice suit goes out and we go get them and have have back up's on shore. There's nothing wrong with this. Get over yourself.
It was very dangerous to allow the person acting as the victim to go out on the ice without being tied off and with no helmet on. You should look into taking the PA Fish & Boat Commission's water rescue training classes to learn the proper technicques.
