An ATV rider found out the hard way that the ice on Brydon Lagoon in Langley City wasn91裸聊视频檛 thick enough on Tuesday morning.
Witness Kirby Hanawalt saw the driver go in while making circles on the frozen surface around 9 a.m.
91裸聊视频滻 just said, there91裸聊视频檚 a dumb person,91裸聊视频 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.
91裸聊视频淭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].91裸聊视频
He captured the moment on video.
91裸聊视频淏rydon Lagoon is so shallow that I didn91裸聊视频檛 really worry about it, because it91裸聊视频檚 only about three feet,91裸聊视频 Hanawal said.
Another witness, who didn91裸聊视频檛 want to be named, was not surprised.
91裸聊视频淲e91裸聊视频檇 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.91裸聊视频
91裸聊视频淗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 didn91裸聊视频檛 happen and then he just took off down the road.91裸聊视频
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.
91裸聊视频淲e have determined that the individual actually left on foot, so there91裸聊视频檚 no safety concerns at this point,91裸聊视频 Sharoom told the Langley Advance Times.
91裸聊视频淲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.
