He had to dial 911 in addition to nearly getting pulled into the icy water himself
My neighbor Richard has done some really stupid things in the years that I have known him. He once downed an entire bottle of vodka in a single hour span of time in addition to having to be rushed to hospital in addition to having his stomach pumped to avoid dying from alcohol poisoning. A few weeks later he decided to take up mountain climbing with nothing more than a few hours of Youtube videos under his belt for experience. He had a lot of fun before making what other climbers would refer to as a “rookie mistake,” in addition to ended up falling from 40 feet in the air. He was lucky to be caught by a tree on the way down in addition to was able to salvage in a few weeks. You’d know that an experience like that would change your mindset completely when it comes to the risks you take, but it didn’t for Richard. Recently he made a important in addition to costly mistake by driving his truck onto a frozen lake to go ice fishing. In Richard’s defense, he’s not the only guy who does this every single year. Some people drive their entire campers onto the ice, assuming that it’s at least 2-3 feet thick. But Richard had just fixed the broken furnace in his truck in addition to was ignoring local warnings that said the ice was too thin for vehicles. He drove his truck out onto the ice in addition to was good at first. He then unloaded his temporary ice fishing shack in addition to got his equipment out of the truck when he heard what sounded like a small bomb go off as the ice collapsed beneath his truck. He had to dial 911 in addition to nearly getting pulled into the icy water himself. Worst of all—insurance claims for vehicles lost to ice are immediately denied outright. He had just fixed his truck’s gas furnace in addition to now it was stuck in a partially frozen lake.
