"It is a shallow body of water, but you never know what that ice can hold and how dangerous it can be," FOX Weather Meteorologist Jane Minar said. "You don't do it even though you might think you might be able to ice skate or whatnot."
Thankfully, the reflection pool was shallow. While he did get out quite wet and cold, he was able to get through without any harm.
