TikTok Star Nearly Dies After Performing Stunt For App
TikTok star Jason Clark nearly died after his latest stunt for the app; which included him swimming under a frozen-over lake in Laketown, Utah.
Clark, whose username is @/jasontodolist, has built a large followings on TikTok and Instagram off of his filmed extreme stunts in wild places — like his last one where he became trapped under the ice, unable to find the exit hole he pre-cut.

After the incident, Clark took to social, explaining, “”I have never been this close to dying. I didn’t think my eyeballs would freeze so quick. The surface of the water where the hole was didn’t look any different than the bottom of the ice. When I flipped around and felt solid ice I thought I was at the hole. When I wasn’t that’s when I decided to head back and follow the dust I kicked up. The dust I kicked up had drifted and led me further away. I then tried to break the ice with my back, you can see in the video.”
He continues, “I don’t know what made me turn around one last time; I was so short on breath I couldn’t really see anymore. I’d accepted that was it and I wasn’t going to make it. I swung my hand at what I though was just a lighter spot of ice and my hand came through. I then got a ton of energy to stand up. It took 2-3 breaths to regain my vision after resurfacing.

He concludes, “Aftermath is in the other video. 📷: @/abbytodolist was filming. When there are scary moments I joke a lot. She genuinely thought it was another one of my jokes and didn’t recognize the severity of the situation.”
