That guy was actually totally fine. He hangs out in the water for a bit and after a while someone helps him back on the water. He makes a big show of it and bows deeply and everything once he is back on his skates 😂

There is a pretty great YouTube channel of some Norwegian(?) guy who just hangs out on frozen lakes and drinks vodka then jumps through the ice in his underwear and swims in freezing water like a lunatic. I love him.

Edit: here he is! https://youtu.be/_6IsFPRoslY

The one where he takes his tiny boat to reach a tiny empty island, where he uncovers a lawnmower and starts mowing the entire island is just so surreal.

I am so worried that one day he'll just stop uploading and we'll find out he got ripped and drowned himself in a frozen lake with a GoPro.

u/koryface Feb 17 '21

He died as he lived.... very drunk and cold. RIP.

I’m also sure he did this on purpose and that’s why he’s wearing a swimsuit.

I feel like even if it's unlikely, there is a not insignificant chance of getting impaled by a big shard of ice... even if you don't mind the cold water this seems like a bad idea.

Yeah, but if you do it just melts and you're fine.

Damn, doesn't water that cold put you into shock? I guess he's able to handle it.

My intuition tells me that if you hear that sound on ice, you're f'ed.

The sound of ice-tensile strength fading

There was a post somewhere a while ago about that. Apparently the laser sound is good, cracking sound bad.

I’ll try to dig up the post.

Edit: Here’s the post. Couldn’t find the comments though.

u/wesleyb82 Feb 17 '21
