Some of them are lucky if you can get to them in time. There are some people who have been trapped under ice, without a vehicle for just over 1/2 hour and still survived thanks to a little proces in the body called " Mamillian Diving Reflex"
Cold water hits the back of your throat and starts a standby process in the body. The brain slows down its need for oxygen but just enough to keep it going.
After CPR and a dfib are used the person can come back to life. But not in all of the cases.
