Pools, lakes and ice, sentence 18

If you fall through ice, you turn back the way you came, where the ice held you, kick and slide onto the ice on your tummy, then roll away; lying down spreads your weight so the ice is less likely to break.

Who acts: you, ice, lying · What happens: fall, turn back, come, hold, kick, slide · To what, where: ice, way, you, weight
