If you have fallen through the ice, you know that these are not moments of pride. By sharing what happended and how you got out you may be saving someone else's life. It happens to more of us than we probably know Please share your story so we all can be prepared and learn from these instances.

I went through the ice at Hoover in '04. I was walking out from the bank and a huge slab of ice gave way in front of me. My upper body stayed clear of the water and I managed to lay back as I went down. I layed my body out and got my weight distributed. Ruined a cell phone in the process but learned a valuable lesson.

Stupid me, two years ago I stepped right in an old hole drilled in the ice, that had opened up to (due to warmer weather plus a stringer of fish swimming around in it) to about a foot and a half wide. Both legs went in up to my hip. fortunatly I was too fat to go any farther, but it was far enough to scare the heck out of me and leave a big bruise on either side of my hip, and on my butt. It realls pays to look where you're going
