In the clip, the man spots a big pile of snow on the ground and admits he's been "waiting all year" to jump into something like it.

He then throws himself backward onto the mount – only to realize it's basically solid ice.

He flinches in pain and ends up lying on the ground, clearly regretting the whole thing.

"at least you got ice on it immediately," one viewer joked.
