They kept announcing over the speakers not to walk on the ice and reminding people that it was ~50 degrees yesterday and it wouldn't hold up, but they kept doing it. Most seemed to be going for the perfect photo right out in the middle...
I didn't see it break on anyone, but my cousin said she saw some guy have his foot go through, and then each subsequent step the force on the next step would drive that foot through until he got from the middle to the side....
One kid was running down the ice, then sliding as far as he could on his feet. I was waiting for the inevitable, but it never happened, thankfully.
