What to do if you fall through the ice

It is important to know the rules of conduct in emergency situations. Rescuers remind you of the actions to take if you fall through the ice:

 

• Do not panic, do not make sudden movements, stabilize your breathing.
• Spread your arms wide to the sides and try to grab the edge of the ice to avoid submerging your head. If possible, move to the edge of the ice hole where the current will not drag you under.
• Carefully, without breaking the edge, without sudden movements, lie on your chest on the edge of the ice, throw one leg onto it, and then the other.
• If the ice holds, slowly roll away from the edge and crawl to the shore.
• You should move in the direction you came from, as the ice there has already been tested for strength.

Teach children these rules and be there to prevent accidents.
