Woman Dives on Ice and Loses
The Sun, woman jumps on ice, by Annabel Murphy
Skyjumper brings us this hilarious article, from The Sun, regarding breaking the ice. No, not the ice breaking events where you get to converse with others. This one involves a practice related to New Year’s/Epiphany celebration.
It’s similar in concept to the “Polar Plunge” in the U.S., where people jump into ice cold waters. The video shows someone using methods inconsistent with how the actual celebration is done. She actually tries to jump though and break the ice… Perhaps to outshine those who do it the traditional way.
It doesn’t work out as planned. In fact, you’d have to watch a cartoon to see something similar. From The Sun website:
The brave swimmer was filmed dive-bombing into the lake in her underwear and landing on the rock-hard ice, leaving her with a broken ankle and a bruised ego.
The above photo is from the same article. You could read more details, and watch the video here.

Idiot.
Yep, that about sums it up.

“Cupid Stunt”
I am so stealin’ that quote.
I wish I was there when that happened. I would have licked the part of the ice that she was sitting on.
Blonde
Dimwit. Get her spayed.
As with my two sons, I just couldn’t think of enough things to tell them not to do.
As in, don’t take my 4WD truck out to the power lines and get it mired up to the door sills in mud.
Actually, should have seen that one coming.
I just checked out the pic and Icee what happened on the ice.
Knew you wouldn’t let me down, Jeff.
Happy belated birthday, brother!
Thank you Mason, and it looks like I won’t see 72 anymore.
A potential Darwin Award….
Musically impaired
She didn’t C sharp
So now she will B flat
At least she can always say that she ain’t packing a few extra ponds….
She muffed that dive.
Well, as they say, stupid should hurt.
The “bovfriend” was goading her to do it in the video… he needs a kick in the nuts.
Someday, that asshole is going to wind up in divorce court. That video will by found by opposing counsel.
I’d hit it.
The ice a!ready did 😂
With a block of ice? That’s cold…
So the wussyfication of males isn’t limited to America. The “man” just laughs at her (which is an acceptable response to a stupid stunt) but doesn’t even help her. Lets her hop around on a broken ankle.
Suddenly a white knight appears. You need to fight that ice to the death for degrading her honor.
Three thoughts come to mind.
1) Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
2) Even American blondes are not this dumb, I hope.
3) We found Commissar a girlfriend.
She’s about as truly bright as the one who wasted time and money getting a Plied-higher-and-Deeper Degree in Chinese Politics.
There’s no way she broke her ankle. She didn’t so much as even limb a little as she walked back to the dock.
You can see the discoloration on the right foot/ankle area when she hobbled back and tried to get back on the dock.
Lucky she didn’t break through then become trapped under the ice and drown.
Very true, IMHO the thickness of the ice cheated Darwin.
Yeah I’m not sure if there are repeat participants if this is successful because jumping into frozen lakes is a sure way to die.
Just wait a month (or less).
Every winter, it seems some idiot in the New England region decides to go skimming on their snowmobiles across a semi-frozen lake or pond, and either comes off the throttle or it floods out, with predictable results.
Alcohol may have been a factor.
