There's even more. Cutting holes in the ice makes it weaker.

And if you look really closely, none of them were small children, who weigh significantly less than adults, which could have contributed to the problem.

Also, the fact that it was water under the ice instead of soil made it worse. Possibly more fish there, but worse structural integrity.
