Excellent stuff RR.

I would have drowned with what I thought was the right thing to do.

I actually saw a guy out on the Kelso reservior today in Milton (West of Toronto) I hope he's seen this video. The ice can only be 2" at best here in the S/W.

Thanks for the info.

Dr. Giesbrecht is a well known refference in the field. At work, I'm part of the Ice and water rescue team. Ice picks in your survival suit are highly recommended. Makes it so much easier to pull yourself out.

Please do not forget your own safety if you witness an incident. In ice water rescue, the secondary to primaryy victim ratio is is 2:1

It means 2 people die trying to help 1. Like pointed out in the video, the person can survive for a while. You will be more help if you do it safely, even if it takes more time, then if you become a victim yourself.

Have a safe season.
