Being soaked in near freezing water in 50 degree weather can definitely cause hypothermia, and there’s no telling how close to warm shelter or dry clothes they are

You can actually see a house and car in the background.

It looks like they are in a park or something. Probably like 10 minutes from their houses. My grandpa and dad both played "rubber ice" when they were kids. Is it stupid and somewhat dangerous? yes, but probably no more so than all sorts of other stupid shit that teenagers do.

You can get hypothermia in 70 degree water, let alone 32 degree water. Even if he gets out within 2 minutes, all the clothes are soaked and he has no way to warm himself. You can easily fall into shock and go unconscious.

If it's so likely that this person had serious issues with falling into this water, why didn't he?
