I can hardly believe that it’s been 28 years since this happened. Thank goodness Marland is all right after falling through the ice. Maybe he and Michael tell their grandchildren this story. This happened on a Saturday and 6 days before Christmas. When I saw Marland fall through the thin ice, my heart went to my stomach. He needed serious help. I’m sure Marland can never thank his rescuers enough. If they were not there, he wouldn’t be alive today.
I'm watching this and I'm like, there's no way that other dude is going to ride up right next to his buddy and risk going in the ice himself! But to my dismay, he does the unthinkable lol.
Wow! I almost went through the lake once on my ATV. I'm glad I didn't get THAT close to death, but I almost did. I could hear the ice cracking underneath me and started gunning for more solid ice. Ice cracking is DEFINITELY NOT what you want to hear - unless you're close enough to shore. And I wasn't.
I can’t believe he made the bad decisions he made that day! #1, driving the snowmobile next to the thin ice where his friend had already gone through, & #2, slowing down within that area of bad ice, allowing his own sled to also fall through? Now you’re on foot, wet & cold yourself! Now it will take you way more time to get the help for the friend that went through in the first place! Bad choices! A better choice would have been to make a high speed pass to locate your friend, then once you found out what happened to him, letting that friend know that you know he’s in trouble & in the cold water, and you’re going for help! That alone would give him the hope he needs to hang on, because now he knows that you know that he’s in trouble & that you know where he is and what had happened to him, and you’re going for help and that Help will soon arrive! Psychologically in those kinds of conditions, you need all the help you can get to mentally hang on, and sometimes all you need is that hope!
From what I noticed when they zoomed in on his snowmobile dashboard it looked like the engine died you can see him trying to keep giving it gas but the speedometer just kept dropping I'd say either he ran out of gas or something malfunctioned with the snowmobile's engine.
Gary Beltz, yes, the first guy to go down had engine failure due to him not checking it out ahead of time. But the second one made the biggest mistake in what he did.
guys learn from mistakes he risk his live trying to save his friend sure the way he did it was pretty stupid. but it just as stupid how the news and weather people have to tell PEOPLE TO BE AWARE OF THIN ICE.

30 years have passed since this happened. I’d be frightened and devastated if this happened to my father, brother, or someone I know.

Safety first when you ride a snowmobile. ❄️ rules!

Anything is possible through Christ
This is the best show ever!
That was amazing that Mike wrist his own life to save Marlon. I was extremely terrified seeing most of this.
This is my Grandpa!!
Really?! Who is?

I love William Shatner😍
Great narrator
Why would anyone want to go snowmobiling through an icy lake, the blades would cut through the ice while riding?

Be safe my dad went through today
Rene Bedard is he okay?
My Heart goes out to you and your Family!!!
Second guy, NOT a hero lol.....
This is Snowmo thru Ice (I think that's the name of the segment anyway) from episode 504.
What if you can't stop?
Today is December 20, 2022.
It has been 30 years and 1 day, since this happened.
I am surprised that there is no warning signs for snowboarding, that could've helped
16 mph or 60 mph?
He should have slowed down in the first place.
