The Dutch, for whom ice skating is both a tradition and a weapon, know their craft well. This video from Amsterdam shows a man skating over too-thin ice and crashing into the cold water below. He’s one of many Dutchmen enjoying perfect urban skating weather right now.
Listen beautiful relax classics on our Youtube channel.
Breaking through the ice is no big deal. I suspect that he actually intended to crash (since he’s in a swimsuit) and views crawling out of the wintery waters as, at most, an annoyance rather than a life-threatening emergency. His bow, at the end, shows perfect aplomb.
