The dude showed up with a buddy this afternoon, my neighbor said they made it about 100 feet before breaking through. The guys were able to break their way back to shore but not before the police, sheriff, ambulance, and my neighbor got there. The one complained of chest pain and shortness of breath while the other was "just" hyperventilating. Both ended up in the hospital. At least the Fire Dept was cancelled though they will each get a $500 bill for the page.
It was bad enough the one guy walked out there yesterday, bringing out a buddy when temps passed over 32 degrees around 4 AM and was about 36-38 degrees and sunny when they went in is beyond belief. I guess when one passes 70 years old there isn't much to live for - at least for some people.
I wonder if they learned anything from this experience and also wonder if they are the same people who place a plank over open water from shore to the remaining lake ice in the spring. That is something else I have trouble believing.
