Ben H Posted November 13, 2014 Report Share Posted November 13, 2014 A few years ago I was in Alpena MI (near the U.P.) around New Years. All the kids were playing on a frozen lake. This ol' boy just couldn't do it. I'm sure the ice was plenty thick enough, but I couldn't shake that feeling someone was about to disappear.

Marc Posted November 13, 2014 Report Share Posted November 13, 2014 They should make a model for a water hose, something a homeowner could keep handy. Marc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Kogel Posted November 14, 2014 Report Share Posted November 14, 2014 Marc, blow air into a garden hose and try it. I think the inflated fire hose is stiff enough to work, but a small hose maybe not. Great idea, and something every fire department can utilize.

kurt Posted November 14, 2014 Report Share Posted November 14, 2014 Anyone ever been hypothermic? Bad hypothermic? I have. Like that. In ice water. You go bad in a few minutes. Can't hang onto anything, can't think, can't function. Guys fiddling with devices on shore while someone's going bad is not the best way to do it. Same with drowning. Anyone seen someone drown? It's not like TV. It's real quiet and quick. Everything seems fine, calm, in control. Then, gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
