Anybody who has ever fell through the ice gas my sympathy. Hard to explain the sensation of being instantly numb and your clothes filling with water taking you down....
I was with my son, ice fishing. I broke completely through and fully submerged. My son sensed something wrong. Turned and looked. He ran to the hole and grabbed material on my coat and yanked me out. I was so cold, I couldn't speak. He got me to shore and started the truck. He stripped me down to my long johns and got the heater to warm me along with hot coffee. Another time I was on top of our Thompson 24' fishing boat while it was on the trailer. I slipped and fell to the ground. I hit my head on a snowmobile trailer then hit on on a length of angle iron on the ground I was not breathing and he did CPR on me while my wife called an ambulance. I made it both times cause here I am.
