Last Saturday, the snow build up on the Prince william Ice Rink in Dale City, VA was so heavy the rink roof collapsed. Short Track speed skating trials were about to begin. Fortunately, a skater noticed the beam disconnect from the wall, and notified a coach. All personnel exited the building safely. Two hours later the rink collapsed.

Whoa, scary! Don't I remember something similar happening at a rink in Europe a few years ago?
