Bruise from sliding on ice at winter camp

At its worst the bruise was more than 25cm top to bottom. We had been sliding on the ice on a frozen stream. I tried to enter the river a little too high and went through the top layer of ice. However, where I should have entered the stream the ice was quite solid, and I slammed sideways into that, with the above result. (I think I may have done some deeper damage as well.)

Update: I got a beauty hematoma from it, which could still be felt as a lump the next time I was in Romania, and even much later as well.
