Who knew a hovercraft could turn ordinary humans into superheroes?
That's what happened when a father and son duo found out about two deer stuck on the frozen Albert Lea Lake in Minnesota. They quickly jumped in their hovercrafts and found the two stranded animals looking helpless, still trying to get a foothold on the slippery ice. After some ingenious jerry-rigging with safety rope, the two deer were off for the water skiing ride of their life behind the hovercrafts. Except there wasn't any water. Or skiis. Or even boats for that matter.

Both deer were dragged across the ice by the craft safely back to shore. The whole ordeal was caught on camera by a helmet-mounted Go Pro. Another deer was also rescued off-camera by the father-son duo. After all that trouble, let's just hope those deer learned their lesson about venturing out onto frozen lakes.
