This files most often find themselves in dangerous situations on the ice fishermen who spend a lot of time on the waters, as well as children. Going out on the frozen pond, take a stick to check the ice strength. In any case, do not check his kick. The first steps you need to do without lifting the soles from the ice surface. Advance look around suspicious places, namely: the ice can be fragile (thin) near water runoff (e.g., from the farm or factory), near the bushes, reeds, under snowdrifts, in places where algae frozen into the ice. Avoid areas covered with thick layer of snow. Much thinner ice in places of the rapid current, and where one pond flows into another, larger one. Carefully get down from the shore: ice may loosely connect with the land. When will the group, the distance between pedestrians do not abbreviate less than 5 m. If the ice began to crack, return at once: do not run, but move slowly, without lifting the feet from the ice. Skate only proven and equipped places. Anglers should know not to punch next to each other a lot of holes. It is necessary to avoid the location of large groups in one place, fishing on the river crossings, washouts close and too far from shore. The angler should always have at hand a strong rope with a length of 12-15 m, and the Board or a large branch. If you fell through the ice, should be widely spread hands on the edges of the ice break to rest your forearms and shoulders on the ice and to keep from diving head.
