I went with a group of friends out to explore some areas for potential ice fishing. But I was the unfortunate one to step on a thin spot and fell right through. Luckily I was wearing my snowboarding clothing that consisted of my waterproof jacket and pants, so that created an airpocket to keep me afloat long enough to get myself out. It also did not absorb the water like a sponge, so i did not get weighed down to the point where it would be too difficult to climb out.

Those of you who do icefishing or walking on frozen bodies of water, definitely don't go alone.

Glad your alright man! Ice fishing sounds fun but if anyone ask me to go I might have to pass.
