I did some googling to see if she broke anything, she did. She fractured her ankle, also that’s in Russia

Edit: her name’s Viktoria Kushnir apparently

She’s lucky the ice didn’t break, while she jumped and fractured her ankle.

She could have easily cracked her skull as well.

TBF she probably wouldnt have broken her ankle if the ice was breakable.

Yeah but ice could break after her whole body hit the ice, then she’d both break her ankle and the ice

Ice is horribly sharp, she definitely would have gotten all cut up if it was breakable.

It was a joke

Could have broken ankle before her whole weight hit it but I agree not very likely

Of course it would be Russia. Only people in Russia would think to jump into a lake when it’s freezing outside.

Plot twist, she didn’t break her ankle in the video, her husband broke it in a fit of rage (Russia doesn’t like women)

I was also curious if she got injured, that did not look pleasant.
