Big Dummy: TikTok Influencer Says He Nearly Died After Swimming Under a Frozen Lake — Then Did It Again [Video]

You may have seen a now-viral TikTok video of white man swimming under a sheet of ice in a frozen lake.

We don’t know why he did it, but Jason Clark (aka @JasonToDoList) took to Instagram to explain how the stunt almost cost him his life.

“I have never been this close to dying,” he wrote before explaining how the ice water impacted his body.

“I didn’t think my eyeballs would freeze so quick. The surface of the water where the hole was didn’t look any different than the bottom of the ice. When I flipped around and felt solid ice I thought I was at the hole,” he continued. “I was so short on breath I couldn’t really see anymore. I had accepted that was it and I wasn’t going to make it. I swung my hand at what I thought was just a lighter spot of ice and my hand came through. I then got a ton of energy to stand up. It took 2-3 breaths to regain my vision after resurfacing.”

You would think once was enough, but his dumb ass he decided to pull the stunt again for another video — albeit with a bigger hole.

I have never been this close to dying. I didn’t think my eyeballs would freeze so quick. The surface of the water where the hole was didn’t look any different than the bottom of the ice. When I flipped around and felt solid ice I thought I was at the hole. When I wasn’t that’s when I decided to head back and follow the dust I kicked up. The dust I kicked up had drifted and led me further away. I then tried to break the ice with my back, you can see in the video. I don’t know what made me turn around one last time. I was so short on breath I couldn’t really see anymore. I had accepted that was it and I wasn’t going to make it. I swung my hand at what I though was just a lighter spot of ice and my hand came through. I then got a ton of energy to stand up. It took 2-3 breaths to regain my vision after resurfacing. Aftermath is in the other video. ?: @abbytodolist was filming. When there are scary moments I joke a lot. She genuinely thought it was another one of my jokes and didn’t recognize the severity of the situation.
