A quick dip in cold water is a lot different that spending time outside in a temperature that can very quickly kill you.

Water that cold will kill you pretty quickly, too. So it depends on if these folks are just getting out of their car for a bit or if they're going for a hike. I saw that the one guy was running, but it wasn't clear of that was just a "I wanted to see how it felt" thing or he really thought a fun was a good idea.
