You can see this Dutch ice-skating fail coming a mile away – but only his pride got hurt
the poke - 9 months ago
The weather has been cold, even for February, in many parts of the world – as demonstrated by the fact that people in Texas have been building snowmen.
The move to Texas has been….eventful. Wont have access to good internet for at least a day or so, but until then, heres the snowman our neighbors made to welcome us to the desert. pic.twitter.com/QWRg2GNyqL
As the hashtag states “Ijs niet overal goed.” – Ice not good everywhere. (Thanks, Google translate.)
The skater was obviously not harmed – much – unless you count his presumably bruised ego, and it was heartwarming to see a fellow skater come to his aid.
The clip has been viewed more than six million times in two days, picking up comments like these:
