An ATV rider found out the hard way that the ice on Brydon Lagoon in Langley City wasn香蕉视频直播檛 thick enough on Tuesday morning.
Witness Kirby Hanawalt saw the driver go in while making circles on the frozen surface around 9 a.m.
香蕉视频直播滻 just said, there香蕉视频直播檚 a dumb person,香蕉视频直播 Hanawalt commented.
Hanawalt said the driver was getting too close to the thin ice near the aeration pumps that help circulate oxygen in the man-made pond.
香蕉视频直播淭he ice is not going to be too thick there. There was an adult the other day ice skating, and they got too close and went in [too].香蕉视频直播
He captured the moment on video.
香蕉视频直播淏rydon Lagoon is so shallow that I didn香蕉视频直播檛 really worry about it, because it香蕉视频直播檚 only about three feet,香蕉视频直播 Hanawal said.
Another witness, who didn香蕉视频直播檛 want to be named, was not surprised.
香蕉视频直播淲e香蕉视频直播檇 just got to the duck pond and there was a fellow out there on an ATV doing donuts and whipping all around the outside, and then they were going in the middle, and the softer ice gave way, which we were all expecting to happen.香蕉视频直播
香蕉视频直播淗e [the rider] managed to get out and then climbed back on it like he was gonna try and get the ATV out. And of course that didn香蕉视频直播檛 happen and then he just took off down the road.香蕉视频直播
RCMP, bylaw enforcement and parks crews arrived at the scene shortly afterwards.
Langley RCMP Cpl. Zynal Sharoom said there was no risk to public safety.
香蕉视频直播淲e have determined that the individual actually left on foot, so there香蕉视频直播檚 no safety concerns at this point,香蕉视频直播 Sharoom told the Langley Advance Times.
香蕉视频直播淲e would just like to remind the patrons out here to be careful of the thin ice because it is still not strong enough to hold a lot of weight.
Sharoom said the investigation has now been turned over to Langley City bylaw enforcement.
City crews were expected to remove the ATV.
