My brother is a member of the 300 club. He sent us a picture as proof (very tasteful, all private parts hidden by that particular arrangement of limbs), and we put it on the Christmas card that year in revenge. What they don't mention in the Wikipedia article is that you generally have to have someone there to pull you out of the water as soon as you jump in - the extreme temperature shift can cause your muscles to freeze up, which makes it very difficult to get out of that temporary hole in the ice in time.

Thanks for telling me. It's very interesting.
