How to survive falling through the ice

I can't watch it on dial up...but is it the one where the guy shows you to wait and let your hands freeze to the ice so you can pull yourself out without picks? :dunno:

 

No Wayne, letting your arms freeze to the ice is the last resort. The Dr. tells you what to expect when you fall thru, how to get out, and what to do when you get out! They also tell how to help somebody get out if you're the one on top of the ice. It is a VERY informative video and they should have it at your public library. I would consider it a "must see" for anybody that lives in the ice belt!!!

It looks like he had no floatation on. I wonder what happens if you have a floater coat or suit on. You should be alot higher in the water and it may be easyer to pull yourself out. You may not get as cold either. Did they do a test with a suit on?
