Rules of conduct on ice

Every year, on rivers and lakes, fishermen, children playing on the ice and people who wanted to shorten the road go under the ice. It is advisable not to walk on ice at all. But if you still decide to step on the ice, follow the following rules: do not step on thin ice; do not go down the hill onto the ice on a sled; do not come close to the ice where there are holes and cracks; do not gather in a group on the ice; do not walk in the prohibited area; don't break the ice. Before stepping on the ice, make sure it is thick. Ice thickness is checked on foot. Thin ice breaks after 2-3 hits. When passing in a group, keep a distance of 5-6 meters from each other. The lightest person should go first, with life-saving equipment (e.g. life jacket). If you go fishing, please follow these rules: do not punch many holes nearby; each hole must be marked so that at night it does not fall asleep with snow; always have at hand a strong rope 12-15 meters long; do not go out alone to go fishing. If you fall through the ice, don't panic, don't be afraid, spread your arms wide, this will give you the opportunity to stay on the surface. Call for help. The air formed between your body and things will keep you afloat for a while. Lean your chest on the edge of the ice, try to crawl out onto the solid ice and crawl towards the shore.
