Yesterday I watched ITV's breakfast tv, during the program they showed a film of people skating on a pond somewhere, followed closely by the mention that A Scottish curling team were holding their first meeting on a lake in years.
As they said it I thought thats a really stupid thing to do, every winter people fall through the ice on ponds etc.
Sure enough on the evening news the story of 2 brother in Leicester who drowned that day, then a 6 year old in Berkshire, his condition is unknown. I can't help wondering if they went on the ice after seeing the news item in the morning.
Please don't go on ice, it's really dangerous. even if the ice is thick enough to support your weight theres no telling it's the same thickness all over. It's often very uneven, the thickness is affected by a lot of factors, currents or air pockets under the ice also affect the freezing and thawing.
