What a great fall that would be! The ice on a lake would even break by such sheer impact! CCCRRrAaCcKk!

I'm afraid none of us could do it - these Russians trained specially. Harbin is -40 degrees outside in winter, and the water in the river is so cold that if you dived in without preparation, all the blood would rush to the middle of your chest, you'd have a heart attack, and you'd be dead within a minute!!

This is not for me either. I'd prefer to swim in a warm ocean any day

This is one of things I dare not even think about trying.
