I found the kicking of the legs to help get your upper body a few inches onto 
the ice the most important part.
I have been in freezing water before but never by accident and never through 
the ice.  I used to go ice skating as a kid on farm ponds all the time.  
If the ice made cracking sounds when walking on it we would not go.  Very 
scientific test.

There are a couple of key points there. In my experience, people who fall 
through the ice do not spread their arms to prevent falling all the way 
through. They end up under the ice, and then can't find the hole they fell 
through. Once you've gone under, you are close to being screwed. If you have 
the presence of mind to spread your arms in the first place, you might be able 
to make it.

Also, the weather had to be relatively warm where this was done. It always 
seemed like the temps were below zero when this happened around where I lived. 
Smaller margin for error.
