Officials warn against ice activities due to unsafe conditions, following child fatalities.
Officials across Central Virginia and Indiana are warning residents against walking or skating on frozen ponds and lakes due to dangerously unstable ice, despite recent cold snaps.
Multiple incidents, including a 4-year-old’s death and an 11-year-old’s fatal sledding accident, highlight the risks.
Experts stress that ice can be weak from moving water, snow cover, or fluctuating temperatures, making thickness unreliable even with several inches.
Authorities urge avoiding all frozen water, using safe sledding areas instead, and calling 911 immediately if someone falls through.
Training exercises by fire departments emphasize safe rescue techniques, while officials advise staying calm and lying flat if trapped in icy water.
