In the Sverdlovsk region in the new season recorded the first case of the death of a fisherman who fell through the ice. PE occurred on October 29 in a career near the village of Bubchikovo, Alapaevsky district. In the pursuit of the catch, the man drowned 50 meters from the shore. In this regard, the EMERCOM of Russia in the Sverdlovsk region reminds residents of the region of the danger of reaching the ice, because it is not yet strong. So, for today its thickness on reservoirs makes no more than three centimeters.

For ice to withstand a person, it is necessary that its thickness reaches at least 10 centimeters. There are several external signs on which it is possible to determine the strength of ice. If it has a transparent blue or green hue, then you can go on it. The strength of ice white in 2 times less. Ice, which has shades of gray, matte-white or yellow, is the most unreliable, it collapses without a warning crackle. Experts recall that 10-15 minutes of stay in ice water are deadly for human life.

"If you fell through the ice, spread your arms wide on the edge of the ice so as not to sink. If possible, move to that edge of the polynya where the current will not carry you under the ice. Try not to break the edge, without sudden movements to get out on the ice, crawling with your chest and alternately pulling out the legs on the surface, placing them wide. Get out of the hole, roll over, and then move crawling in the direction from which they came, "- noted in the Ministry of Emergency Situations.
