I fell through the ice when I was 14 yrs. old. Out ice fishing about 1 mile away from my house and took the plunge. Scary stuff it's like somebody is constantly zapping you with one of those tazer things. Panic sets in immediately and there's nothing you can do about it. My brother was able to pull me out. Nice refreshing snowmobile ride home. Stayed at the hospital and treated for hypothermia. Havent' been Ice Fishing since.
