Yes, she’s a blonde. Bleach is toxic stuff. Kills brain cells.
I’ve been around frozen lakes most of my life. It’s always been very obvious that the water isn’t moving. It even sounds different. Frozen water is dead calm and very quiet.
Can anyone else imagine making this mistake?
Anyway, I’m glad she didn’t seriously injure herself. She hits that ice pretty hard. Foot wrapped in gauze. But no cast.
Yeah, I totally thought “predictable result” was going to be “crashes through ice, fails to make swimming motions due to shock of frozen water, sinks like stone”. Happy to be proven wrong.
No surprise to find the video makers turn out to be Russians. Dudes be crazy there.
I can imagine making the mistake. There appears to be a hole chipped through the ice around a ladder that we catch a glimpse of. I can imagine the thought she’d break through the ice. There’s quite a range of what can seem like a good idea at the time.
I doubt she deserves to be paralyzed., and certainly not for misreading the situation. Not many people deserve that.
I have a GQ question: There have been many instances of warm people jumping into freezing ice-lake water and emerging seemingly unharmed. Aren’t they supposed to get cold-water shock that would kill them?
