As a child of the Midwest, I’m very familiar with the experience of eating shit on ice. Whether you’re playing a pickup game of hockey on the frozen lake, or just trying to walk to school, it’s inevitable that, at one point or another, your feet around going to lose traction and you’re going to end up with a bruised buttock.

In the event that this happens, there are two things you can do. First, you can simply accept your fate. Second, you could be like this guy, who fights against his fall into the ice until the bitter end.
