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.
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.

I was so worried when he fell, but the end i was glad to see he was okay
