The prolonged cold spell has led to many lakes, rivers and canals freezing over. The temptation for young people to venture onto the ice has sadly left 4 young people dead recently and hopefully this advice will help to prevent any such tragedy in future.
Enclosed is a clip from the movie Breakthrough PG which shows what is like to fall into the ice for anyone proving difficult to get out.
Watch from 3 minutes 20 seconds until the end.
Next: a news clip that tells us that 3 boys died recently from cardiac arrest (Sunday afternoon) in Solihul and another unfortunately passed away after fighting for his life.
Thank you for your attention
