Pulled my brother out of Open Creek Dam long ago. He froze stiff in the moments it took to run to the truck. It was the same area where 2 fishermen hooked the dead body of the caretaker who fell through.
Had a buddy lose a co worker plowing snow on Rainbow Lake. Looked behind his grader and when he looked forward the other grader was simply gone. Ice slab tipped and dumped him.
Wiebe from YouTube fell through, sounds like it was pretty close to fatal. Went under a couple of times. That's what happens when you assume that the ice is safe when a warm spell hits.
