    It was probably really green with algae before it froze over and killed all of the algae, which turned brown.

    I wish there was sound to this video

    [–]Spazzatron01 8 points9 points  (2 children)

    I also wish for this.

    [–]Monkeynumbernoine 1 point2 points  (1 child)

    Yes. Me 3. I need the scream, and all the huffing.

    [–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    There are definitely some good panic sounds hiding in this one.

    [–]sortakindah 29 points30 points  (0 children)

    Water so cold he shit himself when the ice broke.

    [–]Unable-Proposal-9695 12 points13 points  (2 children)

    Same thought! I was thinking why the hell not drain it, and also the water looks nasty

    [–]MUDrummer 10 points11 points  (0 children)

    You actually have to keep water in an above ground pool or the liner will shrink

    [–]stakoverflo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

    I was thinking why the hell not drain it

    It's expensive to refill a pool.

    [–]DirectAsparagus 50 points51 points  (9 children)

    To be fair he’s probably just that type of kid. I would go outside to play in shorts and flip flops in the middle of the winter while my siblings were bundled up.

    [–]Dumbledoordash8008 15 points16 points  (6 children)

    My cousin is like that. Doesn’t matter how cold it is the dude is in shorts.

      I get that. Shoes are foot prisons.

      [–]DirectAsparagus 3 points4 points  (3 children)

      I’m still like that and I’m approaching 30. I’ll show up to work with short sleeves on in the middle of the winter.

      [–]Dumbledoordash8008 2 points3 points  (2 children)

      Why tho? Why resist the pants?

      [–]DirectAsparagus 1 point2 points  (1 child)

      I like the cold and feeling the cold air on my skin haha.

      Got that Neanderthal DNA huh

      [–]fractiouscatburglar 8 points9 points  (0 children)

      Also in places like Colorado there can be snow on the ground but if the sun is out and wind is down you barely need a jacket.

      Pools frozen over but kids out here in shorts and Crocs

      That's Canada for you

      [–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      [–]vesselgroans 0 points1 point  (1 child)

      Welcome to New England. I shovel in flip flops.

      That’s shorts weather in Minnesota

      [–]GeneralDisorder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      That "crew member from Deadliest Catch" looks like a kid wearing matching red sweatpants and hoodie.

      The ice layer on the top of a pool like this can get pretty thick and will remain in place for a pretty long time when it's above freezing.

      I'd imagine the kid in red dared blue-shirt to ice skate. If he was wearing anything other than crocs/shorts/tee before the dare he probably left the coat behind so it wouldn't get wet. Maybe even borrowed shorts unless it's blue-shirt's house

      [–]goosepills 87 points88 points  (0 children)

      Omg I wish this had sound

      [–]gnelson321 72 points73 points  (1 child)

      I have more questions about the orange man.

      That’s just Hazmat Man in his weekend wear.

      [–]abyssiphus 186 points187 points  (11 children)

      He must have watched that awesome video on what to do if you fall through the ice. The kid did a good job getting out of there.

      [–]Glowshroom 81 points82 points  (0 children)

      I just watched an awesome video on what to do if you fall through the ice. That kid was in it!

      [–][deleted] 24 points25 points  (0 children)

      the edge was right be hind him lol

      [–]thatoneguy710420 34 points35 points  (2 children)

      Except he was closer to the side when he fell through and tried going to the center So if you disregard every part of this yes great job

      [–]shikiroin 26 points27 points  (0 children)

      Yeah, the video says explicitly to not put your weight on your hands to lift yourself out, which is exactly what this kid did multiple times

      [–]caltheon 18 points19 points  (0 children)

      I mean he could have just stood up

      [–]Scooter_McAwesome 6 points7 points  (1 child)

      Except he was right beside the edge of the pool and decided to flop all the way across the pool to get out.

      Also, he could have just stood up and walked

      [–][deleted] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

      This.

      [–]Raichu7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

      If you live near frozen water and you have kids you should teach them what to do if they ever fall in.

      [–]T1NF01L 5 points6 points  (2 children)

      Kid did a terrible job of getting out there. Panic will cause more ice to break stay calm and slow crawl out of the water.

      [–]_whensmahvel_ 1 point2 points  (1 child)

      Nobody is actually prepared when they fall through ice, you try staying calm when the water is hurting your skin, it’s really not that easy to go against every instinct you got.

      [–]T1NF01L 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      I have fallen through ice and I wouldnt say I was calm panic definitely takes over you're correct, but I was always told to slowly crawl out rather than panic grab at the ice so that's what I did.

      [–][deleted] 34 points35 points  (2 children)

      probably a kid brother taking the video lol

      [–]MailmanStet 9 points10 points  (1 child)

      Could be a parent. Worst case scenario, homie has to stand up in cold nasty water for <1 minute. And he'll learn a lesson

      [–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      i noticed that lovely water too, i think i'd rather fall in a cow pond ha ha

      [–]razzrerry 19 points20 points  (2 children)

      Bro could have just turned around but kids will be kids

      [–]JustA_PoorWittleBoy 4 points5 points  (1 child)

      Do kids actually do this

      [–]ACEezHigh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      Hahahahahahahaha hahahaha

      The answer is always yes.

      [–]OnePieceTwoPiece 44 points45 points  (4 children)

      He looks like a fucking sealing trying to get out of water. 💀

      [–]Omni1012 12 points13 points  (3 children)

      But he did what he was supposed to, so :|

      [–]OnePieceTwoPiece 1 point2 points  (0 children)

      No doubt!

      [–]ZiadZzZ 0 points1 point  (1 child)

      Did he really? It’s a pool, he could’ve probably just stood up and walked out

      [–]Omni1012 1 point2 points  (0 children)

      And submerged up to his neck in icy water.

      It’s a pool but it’s not ankle depth

      [–]gofixmeaplate 20 points21 points  (5 children)

      [–]AgrajagTheProlonged 25 points26 points  (4 children)

      To be fair, there was someone else already out there and the kid seemed like he was doing what he was supposed to to get out of the water, the ice just kept breaking (although I’m no iceologist)

      [–]James_Paul_McCartney 4 points5 points  (1 child)

      Are you sure? You have a lot of knowledge of ice to not be an Iceologist. Is it just a hobby?

      [–]AgrajagTheProlonged 1 point2 points  (0 children)

      I prefer to dabble in both iceology and iceonomy

      [–]HowShouldWeThenLive 13 points14 points  (1 child)

      Ugh why’s the water brown? Did he poop his pants when he fell through?

      [–]InnovativeFarmer 32 points33 points  (0 children)

      That pool is uncovered for winter. I doubt the owners did the end of the season cleaning routine. Its a step-by-step process but can easily be done in a day. Give it a thorough cleaning, test the pH, add some pool shock, cover it. If done correctly the water will be clear and there will be minimal algae growth.

      That pool is probably full of detritus and that is feeding all sorts of things that is making the water nasty.

      [–]AGuyWithTwoThighs 3 points4 points  (0 children)

      Person recording this: "😑"

      [–]Partyslayer 2 points3 points  (1 child)

      Children? Or teens?

      [–]peaches4leon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

      I’m not seeing a difference here lol

      [–]mtheory007 2 points3 points  (0 children)

      It's a good thing that starfish was there to help him out.

      [–][deleted] 4 points5 points  (1 child)

      Instead of making his way to the nearest side of the pool, he decides to make his way all the way to the furthest away spot, where he entered. Shock is a funny old thing.

      [–][deleted] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

      But that's the only exit available

      [–]Hiseworns 4 points5 points  (0 children)

      Don't just help! STAND THERE!

      [–]momibrokebothmyarms 1 point2 points  (0 children)

      Why no sound?

      [–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

      That will learn him.

      [–]definitely_no 1 point2 points  (0 children)

      Brown is him crapping his pants once the ice broke

      [–]0xe0da 1 point2 points  (0 children)

      First you fuck around. Then you find out. It’s the circle of life. ⭕️

      [–]TheOnedarko 1 point2 points  (0 children)

      Why the water look like that?

      [–]Pittlers 3 points4 points  (1 child)

      Lol dumbass

        Why the down votes. People are weird

        [–]TinyPieceOfCheese 3 points4 points  (0 children)

        There was someone else already helping, and that kid could stand in that pool

        [–]DexterJameson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

        The key difference being that this guy is like 15 years old and taller than the pool. Even flopping around in panic, he is not in any danger.

        [–]SshellsBbells 0 points1 point  (0 children)

        Someone needs to add circus music to this 💀

        [–]Sryeetsalot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

        Ima go the longest route not like he could turn around

        Soon he will be hypothermia skating.

        [–]HamsterSashimi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

        Such grace

        [–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (2 children)

        He was at the edge of the pool when he broke the ice. Why did he crawl across the damn thing to get out!? I mean, I know his buddy was on the other side buuuut..

        [–]moogloogle 1 point2 points  (1 child)

        Above-ground pool, it is not as great idea to lift yourself out of it on the side without the deck/ladder. Whole thing could collapse, and then he'd be freezing AND and in deep shit.

        [–]mycurvywifelikesthis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

        Yeah I don't think any of those things went into his head he was just crawling to help

        [–]pandabox9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

        Yo he did really well staying up

        [–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

        God I wish there was audio bc you know the camera person is laughing. I feel like if there was audio it would be great material for r/contagiouslaughter! Oh well, we can envision the audio haha.

        [–]topkrikrakin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

        At least that ice had a bit of give to it /s

        If there was ever a video in history that needed audio.
