Also...Don't forget your ice picks....that $6 item is the best insurance you can buy.
I've read quite a bit on this topic, and most of it is common sense, however, it probably should be mentioned... First and foremost...Protect yourself...Second...get a third party to call for help...Third...if you are going to attempt the rescue... 1) THROW a flotation device and/or rope to the victim. 2) Make a chain with others (hands to ankles) to get close to the victim, and EXTEND an object (stick, pieces of clothing tied together, etc.). 3) Or, if alone, lay flat and spread out, and EXTEND an object. "STOP, THINK SAFETY" has been my mantra and motto, since I started taking my daughter in the canoe, on the range, and now on the ice...and I pray I never forget to use Good Ole Common Sense. Does anyone have any experience that would bring this type of situation to life...?
ive got to admit guys im impressed, i was expecting some smarty to say run like hell, but no one did.ive been involved in a few ice rescues in my time in emergency services and these guys have hit it on the head. all good advice.
