  That doesn't work either. It's the face that needs to be plunged into the ice. It causes a neurological cascade of body temperature change. It's nearly identical to a full body plunge into an ice bath.

  We did it in the marine corps. You have to raise your arms over your head immediately after

  Grab a few ice cubes and stuff them in your armpits, that'll help you cool off.

  It’s the face because I literally learned this in a CPR class that was taught by a guy who was working as a paramedic for years and years and years, and he said when cold water gets to your arm, put on your face and on your throat, your heartbeat will slow down. You will cool off insanely quickly and you basically don’t go hypothermic, but your body kind of in a way shut it down except for it doesn’t shut down. You were still completely living. You just need to warm up first.

  Yep and then you raise your hands high to let the water trickle down your arms and body
