Ethan Plath Instagram

Ethan Plath of Welcome to Plathville shared a very troubling video on Instagram recently. The video featured himself, his brother Micah, and his wife Olivia. According to the caption, they were “improvising” because they wanted to skate on the frozen lake. Problem? They didn’t have any skates.

The video featured a very dangerous activity

In the video, the trio took turns driving. Someone drove while one or both of the other two held onto a rope and got pulled around on the ice. During one shot, Instagram users see one person standing up as if they were surfing across the ice. In a second shot, we see someone driving while one person is on their belly holding onto the rope. The third person holds onto the person holding the rope. Then, both get pulled across the ice on their bellies.

Ethan, his wife, and his brother were having a wonderful time playing on the ice. But, the video was NOT well received on Instagram.
