Hummer on ice

2013 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

Two hungarian driver became famous as an internet meme by falling in to a frozen lake.When one of them decided to take the shorter way to the other side of the lake Balaton, the 10-05 cm thin ice collapsed under the weight of the vechile.The driver's friend decided to help his bud stuck in the lake, and drove on the ice.Its easy to find out why its a bad idea to go on an extremely thin layer of ice with a Hummer H2 SUV(a Hummer H2 weights 2,85 tons).The drivers swam out of the water and go to the nearest town.They survived but their 50.000$ SUVs were ruined, the Hungarian internet made fun of them and they must pay 20.000 ft.(90$)for staying on the ice.

Definitely Toss: Too Common
Thanks, Daniel, but this sort of thing is rather commonplace. Just about every winter we get stories about people who drive out onto ice and get into trouble.
