According to the people who were there both rider and bike survived

How deep was it -looks like they're diving on mixed gas? Is it fresh or salt water?

I bet it was fun before the the ice broke

I have a pit bike that is spiked for use on ice. Good fun, needs to be approached with a bit of common sense, but otherwise nowhere near as dangerous as it would first appear. I would be very paranoid about riding on ice that I didn't know the thickness of, unless I knew the water underneath was exceedingly shallow and had a man made 'floor'.
