<p>If someone where to fall through the ice on a lake or a pond, what would be some correct ways of rescuing them?</p> <p>This question is inspired mostly by this <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x10xdJ-is9U" rel="noreferrer">video</a>, where one person gets too close to the melted part and falls through and some one comes to attempt a rescue and falls in, and so on, until <strong><a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2255099/Jackson-Lake-Dramatic-moment-12-people-dragged-water-Christmas-Day-chain-reaction-terror.html" rel="noreferrer">12</a></strong> people end up in the water (Don't worry, nobody dies or is seriously injured).</p> <p>Barring the fact that no one should have been on that ice in the first place, how would you pull them out?</p>
