Vehicles Falling Through Ice Compilation 

So heart warming to see everybody pitching in to help out that guy in the last clip. Restores your faith in humanity.

I'm convinced. Cold weather freezes the part of your brain that houses common sense!

The guy trying to hold the car above the ice..... Priceless

😆😆😆The Blue Ford pickup. 😆😆 Who'd they call? "Let's Make it Worse Towing" I kept waiting to see Moe slap Curly with the tow chain.😆😆

A guy I know has a jeep he uses for ice fishing. It's not street legal, only for the ice. The only thing different about it is about 75 ft of rope tied to the bumper with a buoy on it so when it goes through the ice he can find it again in the spring. He's retrieve it twice now. Takes about an hour to get it running again. Of course he's completely insane but then that helps.

That F350 could have been saved. If they weren't tugging at 80MPH it would have pulled out

19:33 that's the saddest thing I've seen all day, he's literally pulling his car with his bare hands. poor guy i wish him the best.

In most states insurance won't pay anything for a vehicle that goes thru the ice, and the state will make you recover it.

That first clip had a better outcome than I imagined possible.

I know a guy that drove his brand new, 50'000.00 dollar truck onto a frozen lake. It fell through, insurance did not cover the loss, plus he had to pay almost 40'000.00 dollars in recovery fees, including fines for contaminating the lake....

The last guy was like “ No, Jack I’ll never let you go” LMAO

1:44 I can see it now "What are y'all doing way out here?" "Car fishing" "What???"

lets get a 200 foot running start at it and then all scratch our heads and wonder gee jim idk why the chain snapped? some of these guys are mental lol.

This was an educational video for me as I never knew there was a machine made to pull vehicles out of the water.

3:05 Used chevy truck, slight water damage. body in good condition.

I remember decades ago as a kid going out on the ice in Maine fishing. This particular time there was a bit less than a foot of ice as I remember towards the beginning of ice season. We were out a ways from shore and along comes a giant pickup truck with oversized tires crossing near us maybe 50 feet away - couldn't believe someone would take that out on ice at such little thickness for such a vehicle. We're over probably 70+ feet of water and as the truck passes we can hear the ice buckling, sounds like thick rope stretching beyond its limit and the ice is spider webbing. My dad called for us to lay flat to help disperse our weight in case it broke everywhere. I remember laying there scared as I could ever be. Fortunately it passed by and didn't go through and kept going down the lake out of view. I've learned ice thickness varies a lot, especially on big lakes, pressure ridges can occur causing ice to be thin and ice can be very thin near where an inlet or outlet occurs - any moving water under ice is dangerous to cross over. I've known people over the years who have gone through. Some made it out and some didn't. For me, I like over 8 inches to walk on and over a foot to snowmobile - I did take my truck across our lake one year it stayed 40 below 0 for 2 weeks and we had over 42 inches if ice that year - probably wouldn't do it again, though. It's ok to be out there but use good judgment and be safe.

That Ford Super duty is still running around under Lake of the Woods!

Wtf was last guy doing did he think he was gonna pull it out by hand lmao 😂

You'd think they'd check the thickness of the ice before driving tons of weight over the ice. Darwin award winners right here.😂

At the end, that guy was trying to pull his car out of the ice with his bare hands...draw your own conclusions

Alot of people don't realize that their insurance will not cover you for any accident you have on the ice, that's collision or sinking.

they could have gotten the blue Ford truck out if they didn't spend all day getting the tow chains hooked up

Hey Viktor I bet that you can't drive that 80,000 lb. (36,000 kg) bulldozer across that thin ice. The hell I can't, here hold my Vodka.

I've read that popular ice fishing areas have this problem alot. At days end, many people leave at the same time. They create waves in the ice. When those waves collide, the ice weakens or even breaks.

Yeah, blue ford truck. lol. 10 guys and none had a clue

Things to take on the ice with you . . . 100 feet of clothesline and an empty plastic jug. When the vehicle breaks through, tie the clothesline to the bumper, pay out the line as the vehicle sinks, then tie the other end to the plastic jug. It makes it easier for the diver to find the vehicle.

0:59 If the ice opened up around the gray truck both vehicles could have gone to the bottom of the lake. That was scary.

The cumulative IQ total of all the drivers on this video COMBINED is less than 2 decimals above a milkweed.

All these incidents were 100% preventable

What a lot of people do not realize is that even if the ice is several FEET thick, deep snow can weigh down the ice, and if there is a crack or a spring, fresh water is atop the ice. If that water is more than a a few inches deep, you're screwed, a typical truck having about 8" of clearance only. I have gone through a handful of times with my sled- water atop the thick ice. I've even done that a few times on cross-country skis. If I am on a snowmobile or in a vehicle, I stick to marked trails and roads, otherwise you are flirting with disaster. 10 years ago my neighbor was out and both he and his girlfriend went to the lake bottom, both dying.

A lot of these guys are probably more worried about goin home telling the other half they lost the family wheels under the ice....lol

morale of the story: don't drive on thin ice

It's Soo satisfying to watch a full sized truck go to the bottom of a lake! A full sized truck never used for what it was made for. Only used to tailgate everyone else on the road and annoy everyone around with screaming exhaust pipes. Now it's at the bottom of a lake! I love it! Now Im going to have a wonderful day!

some of those captains went down with the ship! " Real Men of Geniuuuusssss" mister ice cap sinking Warrior's!

That last guy was like " No, no im not gonna let go, i just changed the oil and this is a brand new set of tires and....and...and......damnit my fleshlight is in the center console....NOOooooooooooo"

19:33 "I promise. I will never let go, Jack. I’ll never let go."

LOL at the last guy trying to "Hold on" so the car won't go under the water... What a DOUCHE

Chain breaks so the solution is adding another vehicle to yank on the same chain with? Brilliant.

Speaking as an Australian ,because we just don’t get weather cold enough to freeze lakes over ,I still find it a dice rolling exercise driving on ice no matter how thick it is

That's an awesome recovery rig. Looks like the truck drove in a perfectly cut square hole just small.enough for the rig to fit over.

"Hey Buddy does your insurance agent watch RU-vid?" "Yeh he's a big fan, why?" "Your screwed!"

I'm amazed at how people do not even take the most basic precautions, and they end up immediately wishing they had not been so careless. those were some nice vehicles too.

snowmobile yes, 4wheeler yes, The car you drive to Work? He'll No!

18:32.....dude....sing with me....let it goooooo! Let it gooooooo! The cold never bothered me anyway!

2,000 years from now, this car 13:50 will be found frozen in time from an advanced civilisation and stored as ancient technology.

I think a few people may have drowned in this video

People who have pick up trucks and SUVs think they are invincible but they are not.

"I'll have a shot of Darwinism, on ice, please."

I loved the last guy holding on to his vehicle until the end

Tune in next week for another exciting episode of "idiots on ice"

LOL That last guy was trying to hold on until the very end. He looked so dejected as he watched the last bit go down.

Someone slept through physics class.

why people would drive their car onto ice at all is beyond me

Hahaha the guy at the end trying to lift his car back from the ice as passers by just casually stroll by🤣

Intelligent people who drive on icy lakes and rivers! Now the fuel and oils from the truck will be in the lake. SMART!

"You won't lose your vehicle through the ice if you don't drive it onto the ice" - Thinking Meme

THE FOOL AT THE END TRYING HIS BEST TO GO DOWN WITH THE SHIP WAS PRICELESS.

13:41 "Like a good neighbor State Farm is there!"

Wise man say " drive snowmobile on ice instead of pick up truck and have happy wife and happy insurance company, also have ride home."

That's right. Just drive on a semi-frozen lake. What could possibly go wrong? If your vehicle falls through the ice,, just give it time. You'll be able to get your vehicle out when the weather warms up and the ice starts thawing out.

Was that last guy actually trying to hold up his vehicle while it was going through the ice? Now that's funny.

I was sorry to see them fall through, but there is nothing to do but watch and feel their situation.

Watching the chevy pickup sink at about 14:00 should be a lesson to all; choose your rescue team wisely.

I thought everybody knew you dont hit a chain hard they will snap everytime.

Don't know why I don't do this, looks like so much fun.

Some of these people are Darwin award winners for sure, amazing candidates.

13: 54 I'm Sorry, Truck! I'M SORRY! (insert Titanic music)

In the future when theres no more ice and water in the middle of lakes the cars not recovered are gonna be found at the deepest parts of the bodies of water and someone is gonna look at that and wonder how the car got all the way out there without really bad damage or being blown up it will be hard for them to imagine water or ice as being there.

The last guy was screaming at his buddies and his car, "NO, PLEASE DON'T GO!"

Sad... a 25 ft. 4"" wide tow strap would have saved the truck! Who would be out on the ice with a 3/8'' tow chain?? Just crazy.

when ever me and my dad went ice fishing I now see why he refused to drive his truck on the lake. it's also expensive to have your vehicle fall through the ice.

Guy at end MY CAR IS SINKING Guy moving tent YEP SON IT IS 😂😂😂

0:15 if the truck being pulled fell completely through the ice it could have pulled the other truck right into the water!!!

I agree, all that slack and with a CHAIN no less, what did they expect. Two vehicles hooked together would more than likely pulled it out had they just "pulled it" instead of pretending they were at a tractor pull. On the bright side, theres now some structure down there for the fish lol.

Watching the cranes pulling out the trucks gave me so much anexity

Great video. The last one kinda da got me though they guy wouldn't hold the camera still long enough to see much and yes I agree they could have got the blue Ford out

That second one was just full on crazy like the whole car was in the water

In Northern States the ice gets thick enough to support most vehicles if you know where to go and what to watch for. Too many neophytes without the knowledge of the ice venture out onto the lakes, when they have no clue what they are doing. I use to venture out onto the lakes when I was younger. Now I stay off the lakes. Just not worth the risk.

Memo to self - never drive on ice. And if I do, don't expect to pull it out of the water by the bumper @18:53

A FOOL AND HIS VEHICLE ARE SOON PARTED,

The guy at the end holding on was the best maybe his green hornet fishing pole was inside

NEVER DRIVE ON ICE MAN IT NEVER FREEZES EVEN ALWAYS THIN SPOTS ONE DAY YOU WILL LOSE YOUR VEHICLE.

bore a hole in the ice , wrap a chain around a 4x4 and stick it through the hole and use it to anchor a winch or come-a-long EZ

LOL @ the guy at the very end! He was literally trying to pull his truck out with his bare hands until the very last moment!

Ford ice bucket challenge

@AllstateInsurance Am I covered for mayhem, like this?

I have a feeling the last video of the guy had told his wife he was at work that's why he held on to it till it was totally underwater LOL how do I explain this to the wife

this is why when ice fishing, i refuse to take a vehicle (unless a snow machine) out onto the ice.

The last vid, "How am i going to tell my wife?"

Never trust ice that hasn't been thoroughly checked, not even for walking. Make no assumptions, take no chances.

There are better, safer and less expensive ways to have fun in the winter, eh?

my good friend sunk his work truck a huge diesel this week, when it could of been all avoided if he had not been lazy and started up his old light jeep, the dumb ass was also drunk. Let's just say he is now unemployed.

The guy at the end trying to pull the truck out by himself! This is why we used to call it "ice drinking" not ice fishing.

I think that guy in the end almost pulled his vehicle back out. Or was he trying to push it in?

Love how the last guy thought holding it was going to help...😑🤣

At 10:24 is a Convert-A-Truck helping the rescue party, Reminds me of the Kirkfield Ontario, convert a truck, when It fell thru the ice on Canal lake, cost 1,000$ to get it back to shore in 1990

Im not one to complain about camera men but that last one was just painful to watch

America is full of people who somehow think that a pickup truck is a snow vehicle. Specifically a 2WD pickup truck with no weight on the drive tires. So many accidents here...

That last guy was in a state absolute denial...He fought to the bitter end!
