AD“No ice is safe ice. “Don’t go out on any ice unless it’s an ice-skating rink.”ADEvery year, children and even some old enough to know better venture onto thin ice, despite warnings to stay away. Turn back toward the direction you came from and use the solid ice to pull yourself out of the water.

Screwdrivers or even nails driven into pieces of wood as a homemade method can also be used to grip the slippery surface and claw your way back onto the ice, Minnesota officials said.
