Can jumping in ice water naked have any side effects?

Question

There is a lake on our campus. As soon as it thaws out enough to jump in I'm going to do it. Is it safe to do when its really cold out?

Answer 1

Uncle Ted would say its the American way and the Spirit of the Wild.

Answer 2

If you have an undiagnosed heart problem the shock can lead to cardiac arrest. Also, if you remain in the water too long you can develop hypothermia.

My suggestion: wait until the weather warms up in the spring and then get a bunch of friends to jump naked into the lake at the same time. That way, when the campus security shows up, you can all run in different directions and avoid capture.

Answer 3

I would assume if your heart's weak. Or you can get pneumonia and die of complications. Knock yourself out; if you have a weak heart or poor immune system you will be taken out of the gene pool and that will be an advantage to us all. Go for it.

Answer 4

other than your willy shrivelling up to the size of baby walnut and going blue and the need of amputation theres dying of hypothermia or having a heart attack

Answer 5

say goodbye to Mr. Wiggles if you do. He's gonna make like a turtle and go in his shell. lol

Answer 6

Answer 7

You should be fine if you don't stay in longer than a few seconds.

Answer 8

You'll get cold feet!

Answer 9
