Idiots galore

PEOPLE are ignoring warning that the ice on canals is not safe, and even jumping about on the frozen waterways.

This picture shows youths risking their lives on the frozen Leeds & Liverpool Canal, despite warning of its danger, Alan Tilbury relates.

Little respect

They were sliding and even jumping on the ice to show how 'brave' they were. Not only having little respect for their own lives, but for that of the people who have to rescue them, putting other peoples' lives at risk.

Eventually the police ordered them off, telling of the danger, and that should they fall through the ice the body would immediately shut down due to the extreme cold.
