An ATV rider found out the hard way that the ice on Brydon Lagoon in Langley City wasnB次元官网网址檛 thick enough on Tuesday morning.

Witness Kirby Hanawalt saw the driver go in while making circles on the frozen surface around 9 a.m.

B次元官网网址滻 just said, thereB次元官网网址檚 a dumb person,B次元官网网址� Hanawalt commented.

Hanawalt said the driver was getting too close to the thin ice near the aeration pumps that help circulate oxygen in the man-made pond.

B次元官网网址淭he ice is not going to be too thick there. There was an adult the other day ice skating, and they got too close and went in [too].B次元官网网址�

He captured the moment on video.

B次元官网网址淏rydon Lagoon is so shallow that I didnB次元官网网址檛 really worry about it, because itB次元官网网址檚 only about three feet,B次元官网网址� Hanawal said.

Another witness, who didnB次元官网网址檛 want to be named, was not surprised.

B次元官网网址淲eB次元官网网址檇 just got to the duck pond and there was a fellow out there on an ATV doing donuts and whipping all around the outside, and then they were going in the middle, and the softer ice gave way, which we were all expecting to happen.B次元官网网址�

B次元官网网址淗e [the rider] managed to get out and then climbed back on it like he was gonna try and get the ATV out. And of course that didnB次元官网网址檛 happen and then he just took off down the road.B次元官网网址�

RCMP, bylaw enforcement and parks crews arrived at the scene shortly afterwards.

Langley RCMP Cpl. Zynal Sharoom said there was no risk to public safety.

B次元官网网址淲e have determined that the individual actually left on foot, so thereB次元官网网址檚 no safety concerns at this point,B次元官网网址� Sharoom told the Langley Advance Times.

B次元官网网址淲e would just like to remind the patrons out here to be careful of the thin ice because it is still not strong enough to hold a lot of weight.

Sharoom said the investigation has now been turned over to Langley City bylaw enforcement.

City crews were expected to remove the ATV.
