Adults and young people
should know this of course and children are told but just in case, never hurts to have a reminder, since age does not always come into it! Ice is not always as thick as it looks and can be very uneven - it's easy to slip under if you go through it! Also dogs are in danger of running onto ice and again, can easily fall through, with owners putting their own lives at risk trying to rescue them.
