New Yorkers are reminded to only ice skate at designated facilities, and to never skate on frozen water bodies. Stay off water bodies that appear frozen - they are likely not, and venturing onto them is extremely dangerous. Please remember our ice safety guidelines:
- Never go on frozen waters.
- Parents and caregivers should make sure children are never unattended near ice.
- If you hear cracking, lie down immediately to try to distribute your weight.
- If you witness someone falling through ice, never attempt to make a rescue by yourself. Call 911 and notify the proper authorities. Be sure to give an exact location and account of the incident.
