According to the page of the General Povilas Plechavičius Cadet Lyceum, on the night of January 15, 2021, Laurynas Subačius, a student of the General Povilas Plechavičius Cadet Lyceum, will remember for a long time: he saved a girl who was drowning by breaking the ice in the pond from the Kalniečiai Park.
“Like every year, my friends and I get together to play hockey at Kalniečiai Park. We tested the strength of the ice, we found a place where the thickness of the ice resisted all our attempts to break it. We scored the goal, divided the teams and started to play. When it got dark, during the game, my friend noticed something a little further on. I saw a girl drowning. I did not hesitate to grab the shovel that I had at hand and skate to rescue it, “Laurynas said about the event that night.
How 15 minutes Laurynas said, the place where the girl drowned – misleading – the ice there doesn’t always freeze, but this time it was thin and snowy. “As soon as I saw that the girl was drowning, I skated without expecting anything and tried to carefully remove her with a shovel. She grabbed a shovel and I dragged her slowly to the shore, ”says the cadet, adding that the girl had fallen to her neck there.
Using the knowledge gained during the war, Laurynas not only pulled her from the plow safely, but also gave her first aid: she helped to remove her wet clothes to avoid hypothermia, because it was very cold that day, even -16 ° C Later, the girl was handed over to the ambulance team that arrived.
The seventeen-year-old is asked if he did not feel fear or emotion when rescuing the girl and says that there was not even a thought about it: the goal was to save the girl as soon as possible and he is glad that everything ended happily. “Theoretically, I knew what to do when a person drowns, so I applied all my knowledge and tried to do everything carefully, not make mistakes. I don’t really consider myself a hero, I just want to encourage others to do good deeds, set an example, do something good and never be indifferent, “said L. Subačius.

If not for the cadet’s quick reaction, the confusion, the helping hand extended in time, this innocent entertainment for the girl could end in tragedy. Ice has already formed on bodies of water, more and more people are tempted to enjoy winter entertainment, but ice can be treacherous and dangerous, so you need to be especially vigilant and careful when climbing on it.
According to the Kaunas LSC report, officials urge residents to enjoy ice entertainment responsibly; often the first newly formed ice is especially dangerous. For ice to be safe for humans, it must be at least 8-12 cm thick, but the thickness of the ice varies from one body of water to another, so there is a risk that it will break. This safety requirement applies to skaters at sea as well as skateboarders.
Authorities warn: ice is not solid, so be careful not to walk, skate on loose ice, act responsibly, do not risk your health and life.
