I'm surprised at the ice cold water. to stabilize your core temperature, it's really important to start with tepid/body temperature water.
but yeah, I know how bad it can be. I start getting really light headed and as referred to, actually fell off of a telephone pole. not good. I remember going up, I remember working, I just don't remember about the 15 or so minutes before the fall. and fortunately I don't remember much until in the ambulance. I'd had another bad fall years earlier, but this was pretty nasty. lots of splinters and a once again broken tail bone that actually finally broke the bottom of it off so to this day it is hanging free
