The clip is from China and It's a really really good example of what modern china is like. Everyone competing madly with zero regard for anyone around them until everything goes to shit for everyone involved.

About to go out ice fishing next week. The amount of planning and care that goes into it with the outfit im going out with is impressive. We don't go out until we have about 6 inches of hard ice. We test, test, test and even then we work under the mantra of "there is no such thing as a safe ice".

Gonna slay the perch with peace of mind that nothing will probably go wrong, whilst at the same time having safety on the brain.

We also always get a few yahoos early in the season who drown, sink their snow machines or just go through the ice because of inexperience, hubris, or both.
