Belarusian Falls Under Ice On Lake, Captures It On Video

Not everyone is so lucky.

The video, in which he falls under the ice of Yubileynaye Lake, has been sent to the department of the Ministry of Emergency Situations by a Hrodna resident.

While skating, the man decided to move further away to the bushes, where the ice was too thin. As a result, he fell under the water, but was able to get out on his own. However, not everyone is so lucky.

The Ministry of Emergency Situations reminds you: to avoid tragedy on the ice, it is important to remember a few rules.

Ice at least 7 cm thick can hold a person, but it does not guarantee its strength. In general, the strength of ice can be determined by its colour:

blue - the strongest;

white is half as strong;

grey, matt white or yellowish tinge - unreliable.

Ice is especially thin in places with fast currents, river mouths, near bushes and reeds.

A lifejacket should be an obligatory element of safety.
