They didn't die, therefore they don't qualify.

There've been a few of these sorts of stories, about people walking on frozen water. But, according to another forum I frequent, it's apparently "OK" because "people used to skate on frozen ponds in the olden days". [rolleyes]

Well, to be fair, where I live, every winter since forever there's literally thousands of people out on every lake and river ice fishing. Thousands of people driving their vehicles, planting their 10x10 shacks, etc.

So it really is not that big of a deal, you just have to not be an idiot and understand the ice has to be a certain thickness to be safe.
