The author, Jochen, is from Germany and had never heard
of this before moving to Sweden

As I tried to say on my page, to me it was a very unusual idea to
do this kind of ice skating since in my home country (Germany), we hardly
ever have large ice surfaces... moreover, there is a common belief that if
you do break through the ice, you can consider yourself dead... the idea of
practising this in a course is therefore quite strange. The fact that the
Swedish view on this experience is so different actually attracted me and
maybe it does so for other people as well.
