A viral video shows a brave young man attempt to jump between huge sheets of ice.
The Imgur video, which has since had over 1.3 million views, shows the jumper wearing just jeans and a sweatshirt as he successfully stands on a large sheet of ice floating on the water.
He then attempts to jump onto another much larger island of ice and appears to make it.
What happens next is to be expected.
The man makes the successful landing but, with the sheet being much thinner than anticipated, it breaks under his feet after making the landing.
It then cracks as he falls under, continuing to break as he attempts to climb out.
Thankfully the lake appears to be thigh deep and so he runs through the icy water to escape.
Just his warmth and his dignity appear to have been lost in the jump.
Imgur users couldn’t resist a pun when it came to the hilarious fail.
One wrote: “He’s probably having amazing dates because of how well he breaks the ice.”
Another commented: “You’re on thin ice there buddy.”
Although others took it to relate to their own lives.
A user remarked: “Me trying to get a handle on my life.”
An icy fall can often cause much embarrassment to the person involved.
In one incident, two people were caught out by some hidden ice when leaving a building.
The steps appear to have frozen over, causing one man to slip and slide the whole way down on his behind.
A second victim isn’t close behind in making a fool of themselves.
